How can any company comply with this requirement?

U.S. Pushes Target for Hiring the Disabled .

an Obama administration effort that calls for federal contractors to hire a minimum number of disabled workers and could penalize those who don't by revoking their contracts. Under the Labor Department plan, most firms that contract or subcontract with the federal government would be asked to have disabled people make up 7% of their work force.

The disabilities act prohibits asking if one is disabled, so how can a company meet the qouta without asking a prohibited question?..Obama liberalism at its best.

    However difficult or illogical it is, it is all about "feeling good" in the Liberal "mind"...

    I am ALL in favor of this! in fact, I demand to see at least 7% of the member of the Armys Combat Applications Group (Delta Force) and Naval Special Warfare Development Group(SEAL team 6) by 2013! (can you imagine eagerly awaiting rescue and when they DO show up they're in wheel chairs?! delicious!)

    While I certainly feel bad for the disabled and think society needs to help them, pushing them into jobs isn't practical, especially when your country has very high unemployment.

    This is the main reason companies do not hire disabled.
