e. 4. C. Data Assessment.
Review the previous four years Wagner-Peyser data reports on performance. Note whether the State has been meeting its goals to provide MSFWs quantitatively proportionate services as compared to non-MSFWs. If it has not met these goals, explain why the State believes such goals were not met and how the State intends to improve its provision of services in order to meet such goals.
Current Narrative:
A review of the previous four years Wagner–Peyser data reports on performance reveal that the State has been consistent in meeting five of five Equity Ratio Indicators. However, meeting the Minimum Service Level Indicators has been a struggle but generally the state meets five out of seven indicators. During the last two years the MSFW Outreach staff was able to convince agricultural employers of the need to collect this data and work with their payroll staff to capture wages paid $.50 above minimum wage to MSFWs. Now we are meeting that indicator of “Placed $.50 above minimum wage.” The final indicator the state has not been able to meet is “Placed in long term non–agricultural placement”. Although outreach staff continue to offer services related to training and career options, the men traveling through WV have not been interested in training or career services.
