Hello,

Can anyone help me with the latest numbers on USA PWD Demographics & Economics? I have dated information from US Census 2000 - has there been an update?

USD 220 Discretionary spending power of 54 millions Americans with disability
18.1% disabled population - USA
In the next 10 years Americans over 50 will increase by 40%

Look forward to hear back!
