Seems like the Republican states lead the way with employment for the disabled community.
Would be nice if the federal government sued California for the state having such a low percentage of the disabled population employed. When 54 percent of the disabled community is employed in North Dakota compared to 34 percent in California their needs to be an investigation about rampant abuses of the ADA in California.
California on the other hand only takes federal money for disabled workers and spends it on overpriced union employees who only work for lavish pensions and cadillac health care benefits.

something for you and your party to work towards. Good Luck -- I'll be looking for your efforts at correcting that.
Good to know your priorities are in the right place.
What's with the Trumpists attacking California day after day? Seems they are intimidated by California so they make lame attempts to make California look bad.
You would think with the GOP controlling the WH, the senate and the house that the Trumpists wouldn't be so intimidated by one state.
Is this "California hating" coming from a right wing news site or from the Russian trolls? Are they being fed anti-California propaganda, which they then spread all around the web?
When there are probably something like 100 disabled people total in North Dakota, compared to something like 100,000 disabled people in California (probably more), I'm not sure you can conclude much.
There seems to be a mania around here lately of comparing California (or entities within) to ... North Dakota. Started by the same OP, I might add. Who continues to ignore replies to his/her own thread, undoubtedly because aforementioned replies point out how utterly ridiculous the comparisons are.
Maybe I should start my own similarly ridiculous thread, just to mock this one.
Are they really disabled or just collecting disability? There is a difference. The top five states on disability are red states with almost 10% of West Virginia, Arkansas, Mississippi, Kentucky and Alabama topping the list.

I can't speak for others but I hate California because I hate almost everything that comes from the state.
Out of the top 10 states with the highest employment to population ratio, 9 are Republican strongholds.
And out of the bottom 10 states with the lowest employment to population ratio, ~7 are republican strongholds with 2 "purple" states (Florida and NM). Only 1 - Rhode Island - is a solid blue state. Florida is a swing state, and NM is also borderline but maybe more of a blue state. So we'll call it 7.5 red states.
42 Florida
43 New Mexico
44 Arkansas
45 Louisiana
46 Tennessee
47 Kentucky
48 Rhode Island
49 Mississippi
50 Alabama
51 West Virginia
California, at #34, is ahead of 8 red states and ~4 purple states. Interesting how the OP decides to pick on California but not West Virginia or Alabama, both of which are much worse.

North Dakota is about church, community, family and morality.
Thanks to this moral compass that North Dakotans have it has the highest percentage of disabled going to their jobs so they are not isolated and in the community.
While North Dakota cares about the disabled, California cares for the public employee unions and celebrities.
When you're in California you see disabled people wallowing in isolation? Huh? And where is this?
