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:
A review previous years of data from the Oklahoma’s Labor Exchange Agricultural Reporting System (LEARS) addressing that MSFWs are provided quantitatively proportionate services as non-MSFWs and shows that Oklahoma met the required levels. Through policy guidance, procedural processes, monitoring, and technical assistance, the Oklahoma Employment Security Commission (OESC) ensures all MSFWs are offered the same range of employment services, benefits and protections, including counseling, testing and job referral services, as is provided to other jobseekers.
The monitoring and review of every applicant that registered as a MSFW allows proper and correct identification of miss- registered/classified applicants. This procedure allow workforce centers and state office staff to reach out to those MSFWs to ensure availability of programs and services are communicated. The state believes the proper identification of MSFWs at Workforce Centers and in OKJobMatch will result in equitable services being provided to all groups, including MSFW.
