How do I …
I am a visual artist with a physical disability interested in writing a game. In this game you will make an avatar that lives online but who also appears in the material realm. The goal is to write your own story as you live it.
Adopt the pace of nature: her secret is patience.
RALPH WALDO EMERSON
At a certain point in life, one realizes it is time to tidy up one’s mess. I am not sure when I fully began to take responsibility for everything in my life, but it is recent.
In the US the U.S. BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS says in 2023, 22.5 percent of people with a disability were employed, compared with 65.8 percent of those without a disability. The unemployment rate for people with a disability (7.2 percent) was little changed in 2023. The rate for people without a disability (3.5 percent) was unchanged.
In Canada, the data is from 2022.
In 2022, the employment rate for those aged 16 to 64 with disabilities was 65.1%, compared with 80.1% for those without disabilities. The employment rate for persons with disabilities varied by the severity of the disability. Those with a severe disability were employed at a rate of 50.4% and those with a very severe disability were employed at a rate of 26.8%.
In 2022, the unemployment rate for persons aged 16 to 64 with disabilities was 6.9%. The rate was nearly twice as high as for persons in the same age group without disabilities (3.8%). The unemployment rate for persons with disabilities was higher than for persons without disabilities among both women and men.
Persons with disabilities were more likely to work in the public sector than those without disabilities (24.2% of employed persons with disabilities were employed in the public sector, compared with 21.0% of those without disabilities) and to be self-employed (13.0% of those with disabilities, compared with 11.4% of those without disabilities).
Median hourly wages for persons with disabilities ($26.00) were 5.5% less than for those without disabilities ($27.50) in 2022.
These findings are from the Labour Force Survey (LFS) and its supplement program, which for the first time in 2022, collected information for the 12 months of the year on persons with disabilities.”
Hello Friends,
I tried to fix something on my site lilacflows.com and broke it.
So I had to contact Blue Host, who hosts my site, and they had an older version as a backup. After a few days of work, the site is working again.
Happy News
Here’s the thing. I have two jobs now. I need to back up this site. But how?
My son set this site up for me three years ago. I should contact him and ask for help, but he is busy with his life.
I pastel on paper I did of him years ago.
First, I will research how to make a copy of my site.
I figured it out earlier today. I put it on my desktop. That was earlier this morning and have forgotten how I did it.
Next thing I did was purchase the WPForms Pro for $50.00 US. I have been using the free version since I started the site and never really figured out how it works.
(I’m bad at this. It never makes sense to me.)
Also, I’ve been trying to get my newsletter started. So that is yet to come.
That’s it for today.
Till next post,
Your friend Lisa.
