The job market is horrible for people who stutter. This is primarily due to the speaking issues, but also just as significantly, is the tacit bias towards people who stutter. People who don't understand think it's a mental condition, or someone is speaking too fast, etc. They're repelled by this person with a speaking disability. Most people do not understand that 1) we have no idea what causes stuttering, 2) there's no cure for it, and 3) it's typically a lifelong condition. I met a lot of people who stutter who would take any job they can get. This one young man got a degree in IT, really smart guy, but it took him 51 interviews before he finally landed a job with the city's IT department.
