I would not be surprised, but may I offer an alternative explanation?
What if the increase in the number of disabled is the illegals flowing across our border? Rather than going on welfare or unemployment, they are being placed on disability?
Consider that.
Imagine that!!!
Increased numbers of foster kids diagnosed with learning disabilities, too, I bet. They get SS.
You have to work for at least 6 months to a yesr before you are eligible for disability.
Nope. Large insurers of working populations confirm the trend in this report.
