Abstract

This study examined the relationship between the employment status of visually impaired college graduates in Great Britain and their social networks, both formal and informal. The unemployed graduates had less extensive support networks to help them find jobs; used contacts in less directive ways; and socialized in more structured, group-centered ways than did the employed graduates.
