Abstract

The employment rate for workers ages 51-64 with a disability is significantly above the pre-COVID level. Nearly all of the employment gain was in teleworkable jobs, even after accounting for other factors that might affect work activity. The availability of teleworkable jobs encouraged some to reenter the labor force and others to switch to remote jobs instead of exiting the labor force. Whether these effects will persist remains unclear, as remote work options could decline as the labor market returns to more normal conditions.
