Casey Campbell epitomizes the issue with underemployment in the special needs population. He is 24-years-old completing his Bachelor’s degree in communication, years of experience as a sports journalist and an IQ of
145. He is reliable and considerate, and he works hard. A valued employee for any company. Yet the only job Casey could land is bagging groceries. He works part-time and he is paid minimum wage. Over the past few years, Casey has applied for a dozen communication positions. Every one has turned him down.
Casey Campbell is now employed as a sports correspondent for Great Lakes Post.
