Hearing people have plenty of jobs. There is many deaf people who struggle to find jobs. In my opinion, this is the fault of hearing people, because they push deaf people out and take over. Why can’t they leave deaf people alone and allow deaf people to make their own life? Successful, you know what I mean? Why? I really am disappointed. When hearing people learnAmerican Sign Language (ASL), it’s good to socialize with deaf people that helps to communicate without depending on pen and paper. It can be cool, also a chance to meet more deaf people on their side, too. It also helps me to feel comfortable with hearing people, however I believe that many Deaf feel that it is ‘not right’ for hearing people take “paid ASL teaching jobs” that could be performed by a Deaf person. It is not only about ASL teaching, but also many hearing people take over “Deaf jobs". Jobs like ASL teaching, teachers of the Deaf, acting roles as a deaf person, and many other jobs are often taken by hearing people. I’m extremely disappointed to see that hearing people take over ‘Deaf jobs” because the economy told makes it even harder to survive without a proper job, especially if you are a Deaf individual. At least nine million of the Deaf people live in United States, we have experienced discrimination by hearing people, as many of the Deaf face unemployment and low earnings. Is it really fair for hearing people to get the job that was really made for a Deaf person? Deaf people want to work, but most employer continue to discriminate against them, because they underestimate deaf people abilities.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, it shows that “17.6 percent of persons with disability were employed, in 2013. In contrast, the employment-population ratio for those without a disability was 64.0 percent.” For further information, please see: http://www.bls.gov/news.release/pdf/disabl.pdf
These statistics show that those who have hearing loss, including members of the American Deaf community, experience heavy employment discrimination in terms of looking for work on a daily basis. This has to stop from hearing people who are leaving deaf people no other options then to serve underemployment and work low paying jobs, which is insufficient to pay back for the higher cost of living these days.
Hearing people should be not allowed to take “deaf jobs,” because these hearing people have many opportunities to find jobs anywhere. In contrast, Deaf people should always be able to work “deaf jobs” because hearing people can go get any number of other jobs that require the ability to speak and hear. Jobs involving ASL that don’t require the ability to speak and hear are ideal for Deaf people and should thus be filled by Deaf and not hearing. In many years and today, we deaf people have experienced discrimination by the hearing people's views negative that Deaf can’t do anything.
