The proportion was higher among women (81.2%) than men (72.5%). It was also higher in private workplaces with fewer than five employees (85.7%) than in public institutions (69.9%) or private firms with 300 or more employees (70.3%).<\/p>\n<p>Some 46.2% said they believe their workplace holds prejudices against\u2014or discriminates in hiring\u2014people with disabilities.
