People living with intellectual and developmental disabilities say one solution to Georgia’s workforce shortage is to hire them.
In a 2020-2021 report, National Core Indicators found that 54% of Georgians living with a disability want a paid community job, but cannot get one. That’s true even though 30% of them take classes or train to better their chances of gaining employment.

During Tuesday’s Capitol visit, immigrant advocates threw their support behind House Bill 131, the “Workforce Development Act,” which seeks to extend tuition rates comparable to in-state tuition to the beneficiaries of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, or DACA. The program provides relief from deportation to certain unauthorized immigrants brought to the U.S. as children.
