    I think part of it has to do with the fact that the jobs don’t require you to speak English. I’ve also seen a decent share of deaf food delivery people for the same reason.

      That is news to me. It is actually sounds equitable to me to give deaf people such jobs. It reminds me of when the South Korean Supreme Court ruled in favour of only allowing blind folks to become massage therapists in S.Korea, because it is only one of the few jobs that blind people could do without being hindered by disability and have a means for living. And it doesn’t make the client feel uncomfortable if the massage therapist can’t see well so it’s a win-win for everyone. The policy is actually a legacy of Japanese colonialism, which is only one of a handful of colonial policies that proved to be a net positive for Korea.
