Getting a job in this economy is hard, but even harder with a disability.

And as the National Federation of the Blind calls for a boycott of Goodwill because some of its locations pay some disabled workers less than the minimum wage, we’ll hear from both sides.

A voicemail message from listener Mary O'Toole, about her struggle to find employment as a disabled person, prompted the question: what is the labor market like for disabled Americans?
