Based on the little bits of Research I've done sifting through stats Canada reports, it's one of those statistics that really depends on whom you include and how. For example, if you include only people who are completely blind, and don't exclude those too old or too young to be seeking employment, you can get the unemployment stat up as high as 97% of blind people are unemployed. But a lot of low vision and legally blind people are working, so if you include them, and exclude people who are not seeking employment do to other factors (age, other disabilities, etc), you could say that only 30% or so of blind people who want employment are unemployed. The truth, obviously, is somewhere in between those two numbers.
