Who is at risk of workforce exit because of disability? United States, 2003–2016

The deposited data include the analysis files we used for a study entitled “Who is at risk of workforce exit because of disability? State Differences in 2003–2016”. We constructed these data from secondary sources, as detailed below. In the study, we used these data and Bayesian multilevel modeling techniques to produce yearly estimates of trends in the risk of workforce exit because of a disability for states and demographic subgroups. We identified Current Population Survey respondents as being newly at risk of exiting the workforce because of a disability if they reported being employed in one month and out of the labor force because of a disability in the next month, and we refer to their share of the working-age population as the at-risk rate.
