The Institute for Economic Empowerment contracted with Net New Growth, LLC, to analyze the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act (ARRA) of 2009, in order to investigate how Americans with disabilities might benefit from the employment opportunities created by this economic stimulus. The ARRA provisions contain a variety of initiatives and investments that cover many areas of society.
With $147 billion budgeted for health care, and $19 billion budgeted for health care information technology specifically, there are a variety of employment opportunities within this arena for Americans with disabilities. The following job growth areas allow for the greatest number of employment opportunities:
- Digitizing Medical Records
- Document Storage/Archiving
- Document Shredding/Destruction
- Data Entry
- Execution of Privacy/Security Protocols
- Medical Transcription
- Medical Coding and International Classification of Diseases (ICD) 10 data conversion
