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:

Arkansas will continue to work with local areas to maintain and improve performance. Arkansas expects to meet at least four of the five MSFW service equity indicators. The counseling indicator is the possible exception. Due to decreased funding levels and the elimination of trained counselors in the local offices, ADWS is not able to assure a significant amount of counseling. ADWS believes that by using veteran representatives with counseling experience in the local offices to identify MSFW veterans, it will make an improvement in the level of counseling effort to MSFWs. This also will increase the other four indicators.
