Federal Layoffs Affect Disabled Workers, Call Inclusion

Spencer Goidel worked for the IRS in Florida. He had a job helping with equal employment issues. He got the job because he has autism under a special program.

Goidel liked his job very much. He is worried he will not find another job like it. Many disabled people work for the government because it is a good employer.

The government has said it hires all kinds of people. But now many people are losing their jobs. Some people worry that disabled workers are being let go too easily.

Donald Trump said people should be hired only on skill. But disabled people must still be qualified. Some think Trump's team sees disabled workers as a problem for the government.

Some people worry that things are getting worse. It is hard for disabled people to find work. The government used to try hard to hire them, but this may be changing now.
