Yup. This was actually studied with the ADA. Turns out the pre-ADA level of employment for disabled people was HIGHER compared to after the ADA was implemented. Turns out employers started to view disabled employees as a higher-risk compared to non-disabled employees so they simply avoided hiring them. The end result was that disabled people were made worse off. One good example of a well intended law with unintended consequences.
