Ageism is the brick wall preventing older jobseekers finding employment.

So how easy will it be to provide jobs for the disabled? My impression is that employers hearing the word "disability" pull down the shutters and I expect AI, which is used by many job agencies to analyse applicants CV's, will just as quickly delete a CV indicating long term unemployment due to health complications.

Apparently only 1 in 4 blind people are in work.

Employers really must try harder.

But there must be limitations on the type of work blind people can do?

With the best will in the world, some jobs will be impossible for them to be employed in.
