Employment Supports

Employment supports are services, benefits, policies, tools and equipment that make it possible for us get to work and do our jobs. We may not consider things like transportation, child care, access to health care, technology, and flexible work schedules as "supports," but for many Americans they can mean the difference between working and not working.
