Individuals with a work-limitating disability self-reported lower levels of life satisfaction. Consistent with previous studies, the authors find a negative relationship between disability status and subjective well-being. Employment status, income, and wealth, mitigates this negative relationship, but disability still emerges as a salient determinant of subjective well-being throughout the analysis.}, keywords = {Employment and Labor Force, Expectations, Health Conditions and Status, Healthcare, Income, Retirement Planning and Satisfaction}, author = {Mary C.
