"Kiom da surdaj laboristoj vi dungis?"
Translation:How many deaf workers did you hire?

I accidentally made a typo - I know "surdaj" means deaf, but my finger slipped, and I wrote:
"How many dead workers did you hire?"
I think that is a more interesting question!
I had a similar slip and ended up with deal workers
(I assume auto correct was trying to be helpful)
I don't understand, aren't the workers being hired the direct object? Shouldn't it be "surdajn laboristrojn?"
My employer made a point of having a diverse workforce, but I cannot remember a single deaf coworker. That seems odd now that I think about it.
hiring people with disability (especially physical ones) often involves the need to physically adapt the workplace to acommodate (for want of a better word) them and it's easier for businesses to hire, say, people of different ethnic groups or sexual orientations without disability. true diversity takes more effort than tokenism.
One of my best friends is a sound engineer who became deaf but continued working at the same radio station as transmission line engineer and equipment technician.
Perhaps a better way of putting this would be: "How many workers did you hire that are deaf?"
