The set of shocks and conditions driving Figure 1, however, is still a puzzle.
Your implication seems to be that high unemployment rates lead more people to apply for disability.
Ah..SSDI another government ATM program for many
In 2009, 7.8 million workers, or 3.9 percent of the working-age population, received Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI). By 2015, that number had grown to 8.9 million, or 4.4 percent of the working-age population. To put these figures in context, consider the SSDI rate1 was 1.7 percent in 1985.
