Hi all,
This site will be moving to Facebook in January. Look for information to become a fan very soon. I'm finding more and more people are using Facebook to communicate, network and stay connected these days. I hope you follow me there and enjoy getting updates on employment information.
Thanks Darla Wilkerson

National APSE Takes A Stand
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I wanted to highlight National APSE again this month to emphasize their efforts to push for integrated employment.
APSE Position on Sub-Minimum Wage (October 2009)
The Executive Board of APSE is calling for the complete phase out of sub-minimum wage for all individuals with disabilities by the end of 2014. In calling for phase out of sub-minimum wage, APSE recognizes the importance of undertaking such action in a way that is carefully thought out, and leads to movement of individuals currently being paid sub-minimum wage into individual, integrated employment opportunities paying minimum wage or higher, and avoiding unintended consequences that would not only damage efforts to expand community employment, but result in actual loss of rights and opportunities for individuals with disabilities to full integration and inclusion in society. The full statement provides detailed background information on the sub-minimum wage, and APSE’s rationale for taking this position.

Thanks and happy job hunting!
