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 of the past four (4) years of data shows that Arkansas has room for great improvement. Due to the Fall 2019 on-site monitoring visit by the UDSOL, specific areas requiring improvement have been identified.
Specifically, we are now aware that our MSFW definition in our Arkansas Job Link (AJL) system was incorrect. This error has resulted in a lack of confidence in our previous data by both ourselves and the USDOL.
The state believes the proper identification of MSFWs at Centers and in AJL will result in the meeting of 4 or more equity indicators each quarter, in the future.
