It depends on what country you're looking at. In the UK around 80% of autistic people are neither in education or full-time employment, most people are capable and willing to work but prejudice prevents them finding full-time work. I would imagine that figures are similar in the US and other Western contries too.

Recent statistics released by the Centers For Disease Control and Prevention show that 1 in 88 kids now has Autism. This represents a 23 per cent increase in the prevalence of the disorder since 2009 when it was estimated that autism affected one in 110 children.

Also worthy of noting is that 75% of individuals who have Autism are male.

Would Employers hire an Autistic?

Employers do hire Autistic people, however normally when they do they don't realize that the person is Autistic. There is a lot of prejudice against Autistic people so even in areas where there are discrimination laws in place Autistic people often cannot find work, Autistic people normally have to hide their Autism from employers to avoid facing discrimination.
