Legit Work from home jobs for the disabled
The Bureau of Labor and Statistics surveyed a few years ago and found that the unemployment rate among the disabled was 5.5 % times higher than the rest of the working population.
Finding a job for people with disabilities is hard, and finding a full-time job is even more challenging.
The bureau found that more people with disabilities were working part-time than the rest of the workforce.
The cost of healthcare for people with disabilities, especially physical disabilities, exceeds what they could earn at a job.
Medicare and Medicaid provide good healthcare benefits for disabled people that most jobs will not offer. But the unfortunate possibility is you could lose your medicare and Medicaid benefits if you get employed.
Problems for the disabled workers
There are some problems with a disabled person applying for a job. Mobility issues and the potential for prejudice,
Some jobs require driver’s licenses, but many job seekers with disabilities rely on public transport.
Limited access to digital resources.
In some cases, access to digital resources is still limited for many people with disabilities, and it has been noted that people with disabilities are less likely to use the internet daily.
And Those who do have reliable internet often find that some websites are inaccessible to people with disabilities.
Workplace Discrimination
Over 30 % of people with disabilities who were interviewed said they experienced discrimination or bias while working at their companies.
Those with visible disabilities were more likely to encounter discrimination. Not only do they experience outright bias, but they also face exclusion at work.
They are excluded by underestimating their intelligence, insults (badmouthing, telling jokes at their expense, talking behind their backs), avoiding looking them in the eye or talking to them, and discomfort (staring, seeming nervous).

Affiliate Marketing
There are MANY different ways that you can earn money online and many different ways in which you can build an entire business. The most lucrative one is affiliate marketing.
Affiliate Marketing is a way of making money online whereby you, a publisher, are given a commission for helping a business by promoting their product, service, or site.
There are several forms of these types of promotions but the most popular form used is affiliate marketing; affiliate marketing involves you as a publisher earning a commission when someone follows a link on your blog to the merchant’s site, where they buy something.
There are other ways to earn a commission, and you can make money by referring a visitor who takes some action – for example, when they sign up for something and give an email address, where they complete a survey, where leave a name, and address, etc.
Some companies will pay $10-45 if you get people to leave an email address or complete a survey. Nothing has to be purchased.

Commissions are usually a percentage of a sale for merchants promoting goods; examples are Amazon, Target, etc.
