No studies quantify the labor market disparities between nurses with and without activity difficulties (physical impairment or disability). We explore disparate treatment of nurses with activity difficulties at three margins of the labor market: the ability to get a job, the relative wage rate offered once a nurse has a job, and the annual hours of work given that wage rate.
Key variables from the American Community Survey (ACS) were analyzed, including basic demographic information, wages, hours of work, and employment status of registered nurses from 2006 to 2014.
Although there is relatively little disparity in hourly wages, there is enormous disparity in the disabled's employment and hours of work opportunities, and hence a moderate amount of disparity in annual wages.
This has significant implications for the nursing labor force, particularly as the nursing workforce continues to age and physical limitations or disabilities increase by 15-fold from 25 to 65 years of age.
Physical or psychological difficulties increase sharply over the course of a nurse's career, and employers must heighten efforts to facilitate an aging workforce and provide appropriate job accommodations for nurses with activity limitations.
尚无研究对有活动困难（身体损伤或残疾）的护士与无活动困难的护士之间的劳动力市场差异进行量化。我们从劳动力市场的三个方面探讨对有活动困难的护士的差别对待：获得工作的能力、护士就业后所提供的相对工资率，以及给定该工资率下的年度工作时长。
对美国社区调查（ACS）中的关键变量进行了分析，包括2006年至2014年注册护士的基本人口统计学信息、工资、工作时长和就业状况。
尽管时薪差异相对较小，但残疾人在就业和工作时长机会方面存在巨大差异，因此年度工资存在一定程度的差异。
这对护理劳动力具有重大影响，尤其是随着护理劳动力持续老龄化，身体限制或残疾从25岁到65岁增加了15倍。
在护士职业生涯中，身体或心理困难会急剧增加，雇主必须加大力度以促进劳动力老龄化，并为有活动限制的护士提供适当的工作便利。
