Excerpt from The Disabled Man and His Vocational Adjustment: A Study of the Types of Jobs Held by 4, 404 Orthopedic Cases in Relation to the Specific DisabilityThe purpose of this investigation 18 to study the placement case his tories of disabled men in order to see what in¿uence a specific disability has upon the type of jobs they enter. The study confines itself to white male orthopedic disability cases, because these constitute the majority of the cases recorded at the Employment Center for the Handicapped, in New York City, the source of the data. The records available cover a period of thirteen years, from April, 1917, to April, 1930, and include case histories containing sufficient data to be tabulated for this investigation. Inasmuch as no selective factors were discernible, it seems reasonable to assume that these cases represent an adequate sampling of at least urban male workers who have suffered orthopedic disabilities.This investigation differs in several respects from previous studies.2 Two of these, published by the Federal Board for Vocational Education, included only cases which had been rehabilitated. The majority of the cases in this investigation had not been rehabilitated, according to the strict sense of the word, 3 but were merely men seeking employment with out special training after disability.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
