Deaf workers unable to secure employment due to communication barriers and lack of workplace accommodations

Deaf individuals face systemic barriers to employment including difficulty communicating during interviews, lack of sign language interpreters in workplaces, and employer discrimination or unwillingness to provide necessary accommodations. Current solutions are fragmented—employers lack clear guidance on accessibility requirements, deaf job seekers struggle to find inclusive employers, and there's no centralized platform connecting them with accommodation-ready companies. This results in significantly higher unemployment rates for deaf workers compared to hearing populations.
