New Web Site Provides Information to Protect Wage Earners from Consequences of Disability

The Council for Disability Awareness has launched a website to help workers learn about and perhaps prepare for the consequences of a long-term disability. Studies show that 3 out of every 10 workers between the ages of 25 and 65 will experience an accident or illness that keeps them out of work for three months or longer. To help wage earners learn more about the realities and financial consequences of disability, their comprehensive site is one component of a public awareness campaign aimed at empowering wage earners with information to better prepare themselves for a potential disability and its financial consequences.
