Please note: we were seeking the most recent study, not older studies. All
reports more recent than the 1995 (I believe) study cited that study as the
source. That study was the most recent.

Hi, David. I’ve also heard the same statistic for a long time that 70 percent
of blind people are unemployed. I didn’t realize the study was probably from

is a good improvement though.
