New data released by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) shows that the pay gap between people with disabilities and those without grew last year.
The ONS revealed that the average employee with a disability was paid 13.8% less than their peers in 2021. It was a small increase from 13.5% the year before, and the pay gap was nearly a fifth wider - or 2.1 percentage points - than it had been in 2014.
It means that those with disabilities are earning £1.93 less every hour than their non-disabled counterparts, adding up to £3,500 a year in a full-time job.
