The interactive graphs below showcase the education and employment outcomes of individuals with and without disabilities in Maine and across states, including labor force participation, annual income, education attainment, and more. The data presented on this dashboard are derived from the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) and the American Community Survey (ACS) 1-year data, covering the period from 2000 to 2022. The ACS is a comprehensive statistical survey conducted by the United States Census Bureau, designed to provide vital information about the American population and its characteristics. Through an extensive questionnaire sent to a sample of households across the country, the ACS gathers data on various social, economic, housing, and demographic factors. This data offers invaluable insights into trends in employment rates, income levels, and disparities between people with and without disabilities.
