e. 6. 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:
During the previous four years, Utah has consistently met four of five Equity Ratio Indicators on its quarterly ETA 5148 report. Those indicators are “Referred to Jobs,” “Received Staff Assisted Services,” “Referred to Support Service,” and “Career Guidance.” The indicator of “Job Development Contact” was not consistently met and deemed to be based on low traffic flow into the one-stop centers. The data is biased toward non-MSFW job seekers because they are the main visitors to the local offices. The population density of MSFWs in the State of Utah is concentrated, and travel to a one-stop center is not feasible for most MSFWs. Utah’s outreach worker has been tasked with contacting MSFWs in our system to attempt Job Development activity to increase Utah’s numbers in that area.
