I've heard this before but have not seen good data on it, do you have cites?
- xyzzyz 7y agoI saw a good graph a while ago that matched growth in new workers with disability terminations, but this is pretty apparent when you look at the disability statistics themselves: https://www.ssa.gov/oact/STATS/dibStat.html https://www.ssa.gov/oact/STATS/dibStat.html Number of people drawing disability benefits was rapidly growing at around 5% YoY up till 2011, then its growth slowed significantly, and around 2014 it started to slowly fall.
