It is “not meaningful” to compare hiring rates of persons with disabilities in the public and private sectors as “the context and nature of jobs in the two sectors differ”. For example, the public sector has a significant proportion of roles for which a certain level of physical and mental fitness is required, such as the uniformed services. There is also no comparative data for the hiring rates of PWDs in the public sector across developed countries.
