The WRQ provides useful information to help users accomplish the following tasks:

• Generate lists of potentially appropriate occupations for individuals with disabilities
• Generate a list of potentially appropriate occupations for an individual with a disabilities that most closely match a job that the individual held or aspires to
• Structure reasonable accommodations under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) before returning to work after disabling injury or illness
• Estimate time and expense of retraining for any of more than 2,500 jobs in the PAQ database
  
• Assess occupational effects of medical impairment: assessing_occupational_effects_of_medical_impairment.pdf
  
• Use WRQ information to negotiate vocational issues in forensic settings
  

Note: Data from large-scale studies of WRQ applications are not yet available. The following applications of PAQ technology are driven by situational need, scientific logic and the web-based availability of empirical information resulting from analysis of more than 300,000 jobs in about 1,500 organizations. We can help design research to validate hypotheses implied in applications of PAQ/WRQ job information.
