Introduction

The Maine Disability and Employment Dashboard provides the most current information available related to the employment of people with disabilities in the state of Maine. The Dashboard builds on a set of indicators published by the CHOICES CEO project – Snapshot 2008: Maine Workers with Disabilities. It draws on a range of administrative and survey data sources, and uses graphs and narratives to describe the “state of the state”. New topics will be added on a periodic basis.

Additional information on the strengths, limitations and controversies associated with the data sources is provided in the Discussion of Data Sources. This discussion will help readers choose the most appropriate information for their purpose.

We hope that people with disabilities, advocates, policymakers and other stakeholders will find the information included in this site useful to their efforts.
