PY 1999: Not applicable

Final data will be available in January 2002, when states submit the annual report. That data will contain an additional quarter of wage records, so results are expected to vary from this report.

PY 2000: Increase by one percentage point, the share of applicants who receive labor exchange services that enter employment, resulting in more than 3.2 million Employment Service applicants entering employment.

PY 1999: The goal was fully achieved. The number of job seekers entering employment after receiving labor exchange services beyond registration increased by 2.75 percentage points in Program Year 1999 to 21.6%.

PY 2000: Increase by 15 percent, the total number of job openings listed with the public employment service, including both those listed with State Employment Security Agencies (SESAs) and those listed directly with America's Job Bank (AJB) via the Internet.

Performance Goal 1.1F - FY 2001 Annual Performance Plan

FY 2001: Increase the number of women in the labor force who have greater knowledge that can assist them in improving their pay and benefits, worklife needs, and career advancement as measured by a 5 percent increase.

FY 2000: Prepare 25,000 women for the labor force by providing them with tools and education on equal pay, occupational segregation, pension benefits, dependent care, nontraditional occupations, safe and healthy workplaces, and their rights in the workplace.

FY 1999: Not applicable

FY 2001: The goal was achieved. 42,449 women directly assisted exceeded the target of 33,600 by 26%.

FY 2000: The goal was achieved.

• Number of individual women and employers provided direct assistance and/or consultation by the Women's Bureau
• Number of women served through service providers or employers educated or provided information by the Women's Bureau
• Number of women provided assistance to gain entry into nontraditional jobs through WANTO grants and the number of employers and labor unions provided education and assistance by WANTO grantees.
• Number of women provided assistance to gain entry into high wage, high tech careers and/or entrepreneurship
• Number of young women (middle and high school age) who are given information to assist them in making informed decisions for careers in the high-tech industry.

• Regional and National Office Tracking/Ticketing System
• Regional and National Office Log of Correspondence from Customers Seeking Assistance
• Grantees and Contractors Reports
• WB Evaluation Form (OMB Approved)
• Grantees and Contractors Evaluation Forms
• Customer Comment Cards

The women reached directly by the Women's Bureau is a sub-set of the approximately 1 million women reached indirectly through Women's Bureau influence of policy issues implemented at the State and local government levels, through employers, and partnering with other organizations.

The goal for FY 2002 will be discontinued - the Bureau is working on new goal(s) that will focus on new Departmental priorities.

FY 2001: 27% of those veterans and other eligible persons registering for public labor exchange services will enter employment each year through assistance provided by VETS' funded staff and the Wagner-Peyser funded systems.

FY 2000: 27% of veterans that register with the Public Employment Service will enter employment and for DVOP and LVER staff the ratio will be 30%.

FY 2001: The goal was achieved. The entered employment rate for veterans assisted by the public employment service system was 33 percent.

FY 2000: The goal was achieved. For DVOP and LVER staff, the entered employment rate was 32 percent. The
entered employment rate for veterans helped by the public employment service system was 32 percent.

PY 2000: Of the 14-18 year-old youth registered under the WIA youth program, 50% will be either employed, in advanced training, post-secondary education, military service or apprenticeships in the third quarter after program exit.

PY 1999: Not applicable

A major contributing factor affecting the outcome of this goal is the lack of complete and reliable data available in a timely fashion. DOL is providing technical assistance to improve reporting timeliness and accuracy. Another factor is that approximately three-fourths of the data for this measure for Program Year 2001 was based on participants from the Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA) who transitioned into the new program under the Workforce Investment Act. JTPA placed less emphasis on retention.

PY 2000: Of the 19-21 year-old youth served under the Workforce Investment Act (WIA) youth program, 73.6% will be employed in the third quarter after program exit.

PY 1999: Not applicable.

There is no prior experience with this WIA indicator which is based on the use of UI wage records. An approximation of the goal was derived by analysis of the Job Training Partnership Act program experience of eight States using WIA indicator specifications, which yielded a range of from 69% to 81% for employment.

PY 2000: Increase the percent of Job Corps graduates who get jobs or pursue education to 85%; those who get jobs will have an average entry wage increase from the previous year ($7.49) and 70% will still have a job or will be pursuing education after 90 days.

PY 1999: 75% of Job Corps trainees will get jobs or pursue further education, with those obtaining jobs having an average starting wage of $6.50 per hour.

PY 2000: The goal was substantially achieved. The placement goal was exceeded. 91% of Job Corps graduates entered employment or pursued further education upon completion of the program at an average hourly wage of $7.97. The 90-day job retention rate after initial placement was 67%.

PY 1999: The goal was met. 88.3% of Job Corps trainees were placed in jobs, the military, or pursued further education. For those placed in jobs, the average wage was $7.49 per hour.

• Percentage of Job Corps graduates who obtain initial placement;
• Average hourly wage of graduates at initial placement; and
• Percent who retain jobs 90 days after initial placement.

The old baselines using Program Year 1995 results is being replaced with Program year 2000 results due to a change in the graduate definition in July 2000.

Job Corps targets severely disadvantaged youth with a variety of barriers to self-sufficiency, including deficiencies in education and job skills. To emphasize enhanced performance in job placement and retention as required by the Workforce investment Act, DOL will continue to focus resources on program improvements that enhance the full Job Corps experience for students. This will be accomplished by fully implementing comprehensive systems of career development and support services.

PY 2000: Engage two million youth in School-to-Work (STW) activities

PY 1999: Engage 1.5 million youth in School-to-Work activities

PY 1998: Engage 1.5 million youth in School-to-Work (STW) activities

PY 2000: The goal was achieved. 2.9 million secondary school students participated in School-to-Work activities.

PY 1999: The goal was achieved. 1.6 million secondary school students participated in School-to-Work activities.

PY 1998: The goal was not achieved. 1,055,775 secondary school students participated in School-to-Work activities.

Number of students actively involved in School-to-Work activities.

School-to-Work Progress Measures is a performance measurement survey of School-to-Work partnerships in 50 States, Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia.

700,000 students were involved in STW classes in which traditional academic subjects are complemented by career-related instruction (Progress Measures reported by 27 States through June 1996).

Student participation in STW experiences has grown considerably. During Program Year 2000, the number of students engaged in STW activities increased from 1.6 million to 2.9 million. This increase is most likely due to the establishment of the STW infrastructure. With program components in place- schools, teachers, counselors, and employers are able to promote the availability of STW services and activities, thereby increasing student demand.

FY 2001: Produce and disseminate timely, accurate, and relevant economic information.

FY 1999 - 2000: Same as FY 2001.

FY 2001: The goal was met. See table below for detailed results.

FY 2000: The goal was substantially achieved. BLS missed the timeliness targets for the Employment Cost Index (ECI), and the quality target for the Producer Price Index (PPI).

FY 1999: The goal was not met. BLS missed the timeliness targets for the National Labor Force; Employment, Hours, and Earnings; and PPI; and the quality target for the PPI.

In order to increase the relevance of BLS information, BLS consults with advisory councils and other researchers. The Federal Economic Statistics Advisory Committee (FESAC), was continued in FY 2001 as were the BLS Business and Labor Research Advisory Councils. BLS and the Employment and Training Administration also continued to meet on a quarterly basis with State Labor Market Information Directors from each of the ten DOL regions to explore ways to improve the relevancy of our products for State and local (or subnational) data users.

FY 2001: Improve the accuracy, efficiency, and relevancy of economic measures.

FY 1999 - FY 2000: Same as FY 2001.

FY 2001: The goal was not met. See detailed results below.

FY 2000: The goal was achieved.

FY 1999: The goal was achieved. Since the performance indicators are the accomplishments of milestones that are specific to the fiscal year, there is no continuity in indicators from year to year, even though the performance goal remained the same.

Milestones for Significant New or Enhanced Efforts in FY 2001

1. Not Met. The development of the new American Time Use Survey (ATUS) included substantial cognitive testing on survey elements, collection and analysis of field test data, and the submission of core questionnaire specifications to the Census Bureau. The OMB clearance package was developed and clearance is expected by April 2002. The clearance date will not delay program deliverables.

2. Met. The enhancement of the Local Area Unemployment Statistics (LAUS) program began with several activities, including obtaining county unemployment insurance claims data from States for the development of a research database. The database will be used for modeling sub-State labor market areas.

3. Not Met. The Producer Price Index (PPI) program began work to establish output price indexes for selected nonresidential buildings and construction trades. BLS encountered unanticipated delays in the request for quote (RFQ) process, which prevented the purchase of data needed for the research phase of the project. The delay will not negatively impact the publication date for the nonresidential construction indexes.

4. Met. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) program is now conducting outlet initiation in all 87 CPI pricing areas. Prices of items from these newly initiated outlets were used in the November 2001 CPI released in December.

Improvements from Sustained Efforts in FY 2001

5. Met. Employment, Hours, and Earnings: The percent of all payroll employees covered by the published national estimates based on a redesigned (probability) sample and estimator is 23 percent. The increase in estimator from FY 2000 (5 percent) is based on the goods-producing series, published in June 2001. The reduction in the mean absolute benchmark revision in the redesigned portion compared with the corresponding historical mean for the same industries under the previous design is one-third.

6. Met. Consumer Prices and Price Indexes: Compared to 2000, work on developing improved quality adjustment measures in early 2001 was temporarily slowed due to staff turnover. By the end of FY 2001, work resumed on reviewing and evaluating data collected in 2000 for items such as dental services and film processing.

Indicator

Milestones for Significant New or Enhanced Efforts in FY 2001

1. Conduct cognitive testing, finalize core questionnaire, and obtain OMB clearance for the new American Time Use Survey (ATUS).

2. In the Local Area Unemployment Statistics (LAUS) program, create a research database for modeling sub- State labor markets.

3. In the Producer Price Index (PPI) program, research and select sample frames and develop pricing methodologies for the warehouse construction industry.

4. Implement item outlet rotation in all geographic areas of the Consumer Price Index (CPI). Improvements from Sustained Efforts in FY 2001

5. Employment, Hours, and Earnings: Percent of all payroll employees covered by the published national estimates based on a redesign (probability) sample and estimator, and the reduction in the mean absolute benchmark revision to payroll employees in the redesigned portion compared with the corresponding historical mean for the same industries under the previous design.

6. Consumer Prices and Price Indexes: Expand the use of hedonic quality adjustment.

Indicators for goal 1.3B reflect the BLS commitment to continuous improvement of its statistical processes and products. These indicators are significant milestones towards the accomplishment of this improvement goal.

FY 2001: Increase compliance with labor standards laws and regulations including young workers in nationally targeted industries. In FY 2001, increase compliance in the garment industry to 85% in San Francisco and 42% in New York City; in agricultural commodities - to 47% in onion, 80% in tomato, 70% in lettuce; and to 62% in residential health care industry (assisted living facilities).

FY 2000:
Garment: 45% in Los Angeles (6% increase over FY1998 performance);
Agricultural commodities: establish baseline for garlic;
Poultry Processing: 5% increase;
Forestry: establish baseline; Health Care: 5% increase in nursing homes

FY 1999: Increase compliance with labor standards laws and regulations by 5% in the San Francisco and New York City garment industries; in the agricultural industry - establish baselines for the commodities of onions, lettuce and cucumbers; and establish baseline for residential health care (assisted living facilities)

Results FY 2001: This goal was not achieved - four of six performance indicators were not met. Compliance with labor laws and standards met the performance targets in the New York City garment industry and in the agricultural commodity of lettuce. While compliance improved in the residential health care industry (assisted living facilities) and in the agricultural commodity of onions, the level of improvement fell two and four percentage points short of the targets, respectively. Compliance did not improve in the San Francisco garment industry, remaining relatively steady, and declined 30% in the agricultural commodity of tomatoes.

FY 2000:

• The garment, poultry processing and healthcare (nursing homes) industry goals were not met. Forestry and agriculture compliance baselines were established
• The child labor goal was met. The compliance surveys established a baseline of 79% in full service restaurants, 70% in fast food restaurants, and 82% in grocery stores. The child labor recidivism goal was met. The compliance surveys established baselines of 53% in full service restaurants, 73% in fast food restaurants and 72% in grocery stores.

FY 1999:

• The garment goal was not met; remaining goals were met.
• Child labor compliance-not applicable

42% compliance in onion commodities (1999)
65% compliance in lettuce commodities (1999)
38% compliance in garlic commodity (2000)
30% compliance in forestry (2000)

FY 2001: Increase compliance by 15 percentage points (10-15 percentage points based on years surveys are conducted) among employers, which were previous violators and the subject of repeat investigations in nationally targeted industries. In FY 2001, improve reinvestigation compliance rates in the garment industry to 90% in San Francisco and 57% New York City; in agricultural commodities - to 64% in tomato, 47% in onion, and 48% in lettuce; and in the health care industry - to 60% in residential health care (assisted living facilities).

FY 2000:
Garment: 5% increase in Los Angeles
Agriculture Commodities: establish baseline for garlic
Health Care: 5% increase in nursing homes
Forestry: establish baseline
Poultry: 5% increase

FY 1999: To increase compliance among employers, which were previous violators and the subject of repeat investigations, establish baselines in the San Francisco and New York City garment industries; in the agricultural commodities of lettuce, cucumbers, and onions; and in the residential health care industry (assisted living facilities).

Results FY 2001: This goal was not achieved - five of six performance indicators were not met. Compliance improved among reinvestigated employers in the residential health care (assisted living facilities) industry and declined among reinvestigated employers in the New York garment industry. No determination was made regarding the level of compliance for previous violators in the agricultural commodities of tomato, onion, and lettuce because the number of employers investigated was too small for the results to be considered statistically valid. The 1997 baseline level of compliance for reinvestigated employers in the San Francisco garment industry was determined to be invalid..

FY 2000: The garment, poultry processing, healthcare (nursing home) and agriculture (garlic) goals were not met. Goal accomplishment could not be measured for the Los Angeles garment industry. During FY 2000, it was determined that the FY 1998 baseline (25%) established for the Los Angeles garment industry did not include a large enough sample to be statistically reliable. Therefore, a statistically valid baseline (37%) was established in FY 2000 using a valid sample size. The compliance level in poultry processing was zero - a decrease from the 40% level of compliance in 1998. The nursing home compliance level was 41%. The goal to establish a baseline for garlic was not met because there was not a sufficient number of garlic producers previously found in violation (and thus in the survey) to develop a statistically valid baseline. A survey in FY 2002 will be used to determine a statistically valid baseline. The forestry goal was met. A compliance baseline of 15% was established in forestry (planting and thinning).

FY 1999: The goal was met. Compliance baselines of 86% and 52%, respectively, were established for the San Francisco and New York City garment industries. Established compliance baseline of 43% for lettuce, 42% for onions and 37% for cucumbers. Established baseline of 55% in residential health care (assisted living facilities).

FY 2001: Achieve timely union reporting such that a minimum of 88% of unions with annual receipts greater than $200,000 timely file union annual financial reports for public disclosure access.

FY 2000: Minimum of 87% of unions with annual receipts greater than $200,000 timely file union annual financial reports for public disclosure.

FY 1999: 85% of unions with receipts greater than $200,000, timely file union annual financial reports for public disclosure

FY 2001: The goal was not achieved. eceipts greater than $200,000 timely filed union annual financial reports for public disclosure access

The FY 2001 goal was not achieved for two reasons:

1) There was a greater incidence of late filing by unions as they adjusted to redesigned reporting forms implemented in 2001. implemented redesigned union reporting forms to facilitate scanning and data capture of reported information, a change required to develop a new Internet public disclosure system planned for implementation early in calendar year 2002.

2) In FY 2001 ESA applied more stringent filing standards immediately upon receipt of reports, with the result that a much greater number of reports are being returned without being processed. eased the number of report reports filed untimely.

FY 2000: The goal was achieved. 87.2 percent of unions with annual receipts greater than $200,000 timely filed union annual financial reports for public disclosure access.

FY 1999: The goal was met. 89.8 percent of unions with annual receipts greater than $200,000 timely filed union annual financial reports for public disclosure access

Timely filing of annual financial reports required of unions with annual receipts over $200,000: 79 percent in FY 1997.

This trend will be reversed as union filers gain experience with the new reporting formats. will continue efforts with liaison and compliance assistance to further that objective. seeks to improve its performance measurement., and has begun work with a management consulting firm to assist in the assessment and identification of more cogent performance indicators. expects to have revised goals and indicators in place for the final FY 2002 Annual Performance Plan.

FY 2001: Increase by 2.5% per year (to 1,725) the number of closed fiduciary investigations of employee pension plans where assets are restored, prohibited transactions are corrected, participant benefits are recovered, or plan assets are protected from mismanagement and risk of future loss is reduced.

FY 2000: 2.1C.Increase by 2.5% both the number of closed investigations of employee pension and health benefits plans where assets are restored (to 819) and the number where prohibited transactions are reversed (to 301). [This goal was split into a pension goal and a health and welfare goal in FY 2001.2.1F and 2.1G.in FY 2001.]

FY 1999: ease by 2.5% both the number of closed investigations of employee pension and health benefits plans where assets are restored (to 537) and prohibited transactions are corrected (to 241). [This goal was split into a pension goal and a health and welfare goal in FY 2001.2.1F and 2.1G.in FY 2001.]

FY 2001: The goal was achieved. 1,942 pension cases closed where assets were restored, prohibited transactions were corrected, participant benefits were recovered, or plan assets were protected from mismanagement and risk of future loss was reduced.

FY 2000: The goal was achieved. 1,187 cases where assets were restored and 538 cases where Prohibited Transactions were corrected. [Result for combined pension and health and welfare goal.]

FY 2001: Unemployed workers receive fair Unemployment Insurance (UI) benefit eligibility determinations and timely benefit payments:

• Increase to 26 the number of states meeting or exceeding the minimum performance criterion for benefit adjudication quality
• Increase to 48 the number of states meeting or exceeding the Secretary's Standard (minimum performance criterion) for intrastate payment timeliness.

• Increase to 24 the number of states meeting or exceeding the minimum performance criterion for benefit adjudication quality
• Increase to 47 states the number of states meeting or exceeding the Secretary's Standard (minimum performance criterion).

FY 2001: The goal was not achieved

• Twenty-five states met the quality performance criterion that 75 percent of claims resolved through formal adjudication have high quality scores against a target of 26 states (Nationwide, 71.1 percent of all nonmonetary determinations were adequate). This indicator was substantially achieved.
• Forty-two States achieved the timeliness standard by issuing 87 percent of first payments within three weeks, against a target of 48 States (Nationally, 89.6 percent of all intrastate first payments were made within 14/21 days). Since 47 State sachieved the timeliness standard in FY 2000 and the goal was to increase the number of States meeting the Secretary's Standard in FY 2001, this indicator was not achieved.

FY 2000: The goal was substantially achieved

• 23 states met or exceeded the minimum performance criterion for benefit adjudication quality. (Nationwide, 70.3 percent of all nonmonetary determinations were adequate);
• 47 states met or exceeded the Secretary's Standard for intrastate payment timeliness (Nationally, 89.9 percent of all intrastate first payments were made within 14/21 days)

Benefit adjudication quality: # of states meeting or exceeding the minimum criterion that 75% of non-monetary eligibility determinations have an adequate quality score (>80 points using standard review instrument)

Payment timeliness: # of states meeting or exceeding the Secretary Standard that 87% of intrastate 1st Payments be made within 14 days of the first compensable week- ending date if the state has a waiting week and within 21 days if it does not have a waiting week

FY 1999

Benefit adjudication quality: 20 states met the minimum criterion for adequate non-monetary determinations quality (nationwide, 70.7% of all non-monetary determinations were adequate

Payment timeliness: 46 states met the Secretary's Standard for timely first payments (nationally, 89.6% of all intrastate first payments were made within 14/21 days).

Analysis showed that three factors affected performance outcomes overall

1. Economic activity turned down sharply, especially at the end of the year. educed payment timeliness;

2. State law, policy and management affected goals in various ways. e emphasizing response to actual and anticipated rises in workloads and continuing efforts to implement remote claims-taking systems; and

3. Administrative funding remained less than complete and affected operational measures, especially timeliness, in unmeasured ways.

In FY 2001, the states continued to show progress towards improving the quality of benefit adjudication determinations.

Payment timeliness was affected by significant growth in claims workload, three States' implementation of telephone claims-taking, and reorganizations. e required to add a corrective action plan to their State Quality Service Plans whenever first payment time lapse falls below 87%, and these plans have been effective in raising timeliness. d in FY 2000 improved performance in 2001.

Average of the benefit recoveries achieved in FY 1999 and FY 2000 ($64.5 million)

PWBA experienced a slight decline in recoveries during FY 2001. During FY 2000, PWBA had a number of very large recoveries (greater than $500,000), which was not repeated in FY 2001. Another contributing factor to the FY 2001 decline was a result of a number of Benefit Adviser positions being unfilled due to the hiring freeze, which directly impacted PWBA's recoveries. Given the erratic nature of recoveries, volatile performance can be expected from year-to-year. However, over the period of several years, benefit recoveries are significantly higher. PWBA has experienced tremendous success in this arena by improving its recovering effort by over 304% from FY 1996 ($16 Million) to FY 2001 ($64.7 million).
