Popis:	Employer attitudes toward the work traits of eight types of disabled workers were variable. There were significant differences on attitudes toward the specific groups of disabled on eleven of the twelve work traits. The blind and mentally retarded would encounter the greatest employer discrimination while more favorable attitudes were shown toward hiring epileptics and amputees. Across all types of disabilities, the greatest concerns were lower work productivity, higher accident and workman compensation rates. The differential ratings have implications for placement strategies.
