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:

The chart below shows the numbers of MSFWs that were provided with some level of service during 2014–15. This assistance includes job referral information, answering questions on worker wage deductions, provision of housing standards information and working conditions requirements and issues pertaining to discrimination. TABLE 14 SERVICES PROVIDED TO MIGRANT SEASONAL FARM WORKERS 2014–2015 2014–15 Registered In MJB (self–identified)* Referred to jobs Provided Services Referred to Supportive Services Case Man–agement Counseling Received Job Development Contact Contacted by SMA outreach July–Sept 2014 91 0 18 0 6 4 250 Oct–Dec 2014 216 0 34 1 9 7 36 Jan–Mar 2015 430 2 79 3 19 16 0 April–Jun 2015 507 5 113 7 25 19 140

The numbers above are based on service transactions provided to job seekers who register and self–identify as MSFW and are active on the Maine Job bank (MJB). Job seekers on the MJB that do not receive services for 90 days, become inactive. Returning job seekers who reactivate their accounts count as new registrants with new service transactions. Total number of services is always equal to or greater than the number of individuals served. The quarters above are ‘rolling–quarters’ in that services reported each quarter are an accumulation of the quarters preceding the reporting period.
