Self-employment is a significant economic trend. For a variety of reasons, self-employment may be particularly salient to people with disabilities. For a person working with a vocational rehabilitation agency, collaboration with a business consultant is an important component of the business development process to help insure success. However, quite often this step is not included in the process or is overlooked. This article reports on a qualitative study conducted to learn about collaborative efforts between Vocational Rehabilitation and business consultants such as Small Business Development Centers, and to assess the potential for strengthening resources available for persons with disabilities who wish to pursue entrepreneurship. Focus groups were conducted using knowledgeable and experienced participants from both service entities, as well as people with disabilities who are self-employed. Analysis of these data is presented, along with recommendations based upon the findings and the empirical literature on professional collaboration.

The surprising increase in U.S. unemployment in the Great Recession and the persistence of long-term unemployment in the economic recovery pose important questions for employment policy. Why did unemployment grow more than forecast? Is the character of long-term unemployment the result of cyclical or structural causes? I discuss eight policy changes that would reduce the ranks of the unemployed and that would improve the efficiency of the labor market. Most of these proposals do not add big-ticket items to the Federal budget; their merits are independent of the question of how large the federal deficit should be at this time.

The purpose of the article is to determine the place of self-employment in the development of the economy of Kazakhstan and analyze its relationship. In the specifics of the development of the market economy of Kazakhstan, the development of the labor market is always in the spotlight. The functioning of the national economy directly depends on the dynamism and state of this labor market. The problem of unemployment in the labor market is one of the most important indicators of economic development. It is known that an increase in the unemployment rate has a negative effect on the development of the economy, accordingly, the economic and social burden in the state increases. One of ways out of this problem is to involve the unemployed in economic activity through selfemployment and the creation of individual jobs. This practice makes it possible to eliminate the social consequences of the rise in unemployment for many countries in the cyclical development of the economy by opening their own enterprises without hired workers. The information base of statistical analysis in the article is mainly the data of the National Bureau of Statistics of the Agency for Strategic Planning and Reforms of the Republic of Kazakhstan. To determine the correlation between self-employment and economic development in Kazakhstan, the main economic indicator - the dynamics of GDP growth was obtained.
