this is very clever. turn a disadvantage (no hearing) into an asset (no distractions from chatty coworkers & noise). bravo!

In the fall of 2012, the governor of Oaxaca decided to kill 2 birds with 1 stone. He hired 20 people who could not hear or speak to monitor footage from the state capital’s 230 surveillance cameras. The move didn’t just provide to jobs to people who normally can’t get them in Mexico. It also improved the city’s surveillance system.The video footage is silent, and deaf monitors are both capable of reading lips and less easily distracted than officers who can hear by other things happening in the command center.
