An Employment Analysis of Deaf Workers in Texas.
Texas Education Agency, Austin. Dept. of Occupational Education and Technology.; Texas School for the Deaf, Austin.
Presented in this report are the results of a study conducted by the Texas School for the Deaf to determine the outcome of deaf students as a result of their educational experiences, as well as to gather occupational information about deaf workers. Of a total of 410 persons who left the school between September 1965 and May 1970 at the age of 14 or older, information was collected from 331. When analyzed, the data revealed these findings: (1) 54 percent of the respondents were engaged in widespread occupational endeavors; (2) 7 percent were full-time housewives; (3) 14 percent were students; and (4) The remaining 25 percent were neither housewives, students, or workers, and not all were interested in employment; in fact, 21 percent were found to be unemployed. Well over half of the students who left the school received some subsequent formal training and were working in fields and positions for which they were trained. (SN)
