abstract: 'BACKGROUND: In previous research across a variety of disciplines, job

  quality is a concept used to assess inequality in employment. Little

  attention has been paid to examining job quality for workers with

  disabilities.

  OBJECTIVE: This article seeks to expand upon existing measures of

  employment outcomes for people with disabilities by examining the

  likelihood of having a good quality job compared to workers with no

  disability.

  METHODS: Using the 2014-2016 Current Population Survey Annual Social and

  Economic Supplement (CPS-ASEC), we estimate the prevalence of good

  quality jobs for workers with and without disabilities, by full- or

  part-time employment status. A job of good quality is defined as one

  that pays more than median wages and offers employer-sponsored health

  insurance and a retirement savings program.

  RESULTS: Using logistic regression to estimate the odds of having a good

  job, we find that disability is not predictive of having a good job

  after controlling for sociodemographic characteristics and health

  status.

  CONCLUSIONS: Job quality indicators are useful components in tracking

  employment participation for workers with disabilities. Alternate

  measures using subjective assessments of job quality should be explored.'
