Jobs For Disabled Floridians
January 6th, 2012 by flanewsA commission formed to find jobs for disabled Floridians held its first meeting today.
Yesterday Governor Rick Scott appointed 25 year old David Darm to executive director of the commission. Lt Governor Jennifer Carroll spoke to Darm and the commission today and says when the governor talks about creating jobs… he means for ALL Floridians.
“So that’s what we need to do, find out what their misconceptions are, what are the barriers, what policies and procedures can we put into place to encourage employment and move forward that way,” said Carroll.
The commission is investigation the causes of high unemployment among disabled workers and will report its finds to the governor. They’ll also suggest policy changes to create a more level playing field.
