"Quarter of the workforce dropouts go on disability"
I'm sure there are those who are deserving; however, this is NOT a pretty trend at all...
I found this in a post at on the SoberLook.com blog:
"JPMorgan: As of January over 8.5 million individuals were receiving federal disability payments (an additional 2 million spouses and children of disabled workers also received disability payments). Since the onset of the recession and the subsequent slow recovery, this figure has accelerated and grown faster than the overall size of the potential labor force— currently 5.3% of the population aged 25-64 is on federal disability, up from 4.5% when the recession began."
