Current Narrative:

The quarterly UI wage records will be merged with participant data from all core partners. The proposed platform for the combined data is the PADataShare management information system described above. Access to the quarterly UI wage records for program evaluation will be granted within the constraints of Pennsylvania’s regulations governing the use of such personally identifiable information.

UI wage records will supplement current Labor Market Information (LMI) by providing additional insight into the performance metrics. Analyses may include the evaluation of industries that are hiring workforce participants, a comparison of workforce participant wages compared to other workers within an industry, industries that are more apt to hire special population participants, and training programs that seem to be the most effective for positive employment outcomes.
