Well, Richard, that's another issue altogether. The NFB at one time had a Jobs program beginning in 1978 which it so badly managed that it had to be scrapped in spite of a 6 year 3-million dollar grant from the US Department of Labor which it received in 1998 and which was presented at its Dallas national convention that year. It was never much of a program, but it should have had enough money to get it working with that federal grant but it didn't.

Hi group;
Sadly I have concerns with both groups. The primary issue that neither =
group gives much front page space is jobs. If one has a good job than =
ssd is of no concern. I had the good fortune to work for a government =
agency for 32 years and retired with a decent pension. I subsequently =
decided I had time on my hands and went part time job shopping. That =
has been quite the experience. Had several groups relatively talked =
into giving it a try but it comes down to will jaws or window-eyes work =
with their nonmicrosoft software? Thus far screen readers have fallen =
flat although that may have just been my experience.
If one has no job there may be so little money that labeling it is less =
important. The Canadians labeled some money but it is hard to read =
after it is in circulation. Their one and two dollar coins do work.
