| Sumario: | This study examines the distribution of federal employees with disabilities with regard to occupation, race, gender and department through an analysis of the recent demographic data on full-time disabled employees in the federal civil service. With regard to race or gender, the occupational distribution of federal employees with disabilities is not significantly different from that of federal employees without disabilities. Like employees without disabilities, disabled employees appear to be linked to racial or gender stereotypical roles and occupations in the federal civil service. Additionally, a certain racial, ethnic or gender group with disabilities continues to be overrepresented or underrepresented in a certain occupation. Furthermore, disabled white-collar employees or applicants do not necessarily seem to have an advantage over disabled blue-collar employees or applicants.
