The Reality of Employment for California Residents With Disabilities

In 2023, the largest work industries in Pasadena were health care and social assistance, professional, scientific, and technical services, and educational services.

Despite this, those working with a disability are more likely to be employed in sales and office work, service work, production, transportation, and materials-moving jobs.

The most common disabilities in America are those with cognitive or mobility disabilities. In 2024, 13.9% of adults had a cognitive disability with serious difficulty concentrating, remembering, or making decisions, and 12.2% of adults had a mobility disability with serious difficulty walking or climbing stairs.

En California, only 14.1% of those with developmental disabilities were employed.

This disparity often comes from workplaces being hostile or unaccommodating to the needs of adults with disabilities. It’s important to hire a disability discrimination lawyer if you’ve faced discrimination. Knowing your workplace rights can protect you.

Your Rights as a California Employee

In 2022, around 10 million California residents were living with a disability. In 2021, California had a 61% employment rate. However, only 40.7% of California residents living with disabilities were employed.

California workers are protected under the Ley de Empleo y Vivienda Justos. Employers with five or more employees aren’t allowed to treat their employees or potential job candidates poorly because of protected traits, including disabilities. The state’s Civil Rights Department (CRD) enforces this law. If you’ve faced discrimination, you can either:

• File a complaint with the CRD. It will launch an investigation into the matter.
• File a complaint with the CRD, asking for a right-to-sue notice. Once approved, you and your attorney can file a legal case against the wrongdoer. These cases can be filed at the Pasadena Courthouse, located at 300 East Walnut Street.
