Abstract
As unemployment levels hover near rock bottom, companies looking for talent must take the initiative in recruiting. One largely overlooked source of talent is sightless or visually impaired people, whose unemployment rate is as high as 70%. Advances in technology have made it easier for a blind person to gain access to printed information. The main obstacle to hiring visually impaired workers is the discomfort most co- workers and superiors feel in their presence because they are "different. " But, after some accommodations are made, co-workers soon see the person behind the differentness.
