Stable, full-time employment at a livable wage is out of reach for many New Yorkers. Those with disabilities and justice-involved individuals are particularly vulnerable to unemployment. Minority communities are especially hard-hit by persistent unemployment and the negative side effects that spill over into neighborhood life.

To understand Employment as a function of inequality, we used four indicators:

• Race & Unemployment
• Disability & Unemployment
• Probation Status & Unemployment
• Employment Assistance

Take a look at the chart to your right for an overall picture of this topic, and then look at each indicator and the scores in context for more detail and additional findings.
