Description

A new Washington Post investigation examines a program in which workers with disabilities are employed for much less than minimum wage — sometimes less than a dollar an hour. It’s legally sanctioned and aimed at training people with disabilities to work and eventually go on to higher-paying jobs. But it doesn’t always work out that way. Plus, entrepreneurs are getting their turn in the political spotlight, and markets respond to a weak manufacturing report.
