They include wages, salary, overtime, commissions, bonuses, and tips. Deductions—such as taxes and health insurance—reduce your takehome pay. Section 5 looks at earnings for full-time, full-year workers ages 18–64, comparing those with and without disabilities using 2024 American Community Survey data. In 2024, the median earnings for workers with disabilities were $50,762, compared to $60,915 for workers without disabilities—a gap of just over $10,000 . This means workers with disabilities earn about 83 cents for every dollar earned by those without disabilities. Over a 47-year career, that difference adds up to about $470,000 (in 2024 dollars) .  \nThis difference in earnings could be for a number of reasons. Educational attainment (how far you go in school) has usually been a reliable way to predict earnings and could be one of the reasons. Disability status can infuence how far you go in school 1 , and how far you go in school can affect your earnings.
