The Relationship between Social Networks and the Employment of Visually Impaired College Graduates.
Roy, Archie W. N.; Dimigen, Gisela; Taylor, Marcella
Journal of Visual Impairment & Blindness, v92 n7 p423-32 Jul 1998
This study examined the relationship between the employment status of visually impaired college graduates (28 employed, 23 unemployed) in Great Britain and their social networks, both formal and informal. Unemployed graduates had fewer extensive support networks to help them find jobs; used contacts in less directive ways; and socialized in more structured, group-centered ways than did employed graduates.
