Maryland DDA Employment Data Initiative- May 2019 Data
The DDA recently completed the May 2019 Employment Data Initiative tracking period.
As a reminder, this is individual-level data that is collected twice annually (May and October) from service providers for people who receive employment or related day supports funded by the DDA.
The data includes variables such as employment, type of employment, volunteering, total wages and total hours of participation for the two-week data collection period.
