Abstract: This study examined the influence of demographic factors and disability type on employment outcomes in transition-age individuals with intellectual disabilities (ID) who received state vocational rehabilitation services. Cross-sectional secondary data analysis was conducted of the Rehabilitation Services Administration 911 dataset that included 39,060 youth. Employment was the main study outcome, that is, the dependent variable. The independent variables (predictors) were race, ethnicity, gender, education level (i.e., demographic variables), and type of disability (ID versus non-ID). Results indicated that race, ethnicity, gender, education level, and disability type correlated with employment. Specifically, individuals of transition age who were Black, Hispanic, female, had ID, and had not completed high school were less likely to be employed than their counterparts who were White, non-Hispanic, male, had a disability other than ID, and had completed at least high school. The results of this study support the findings from previous research.
