Data Source |
Quarterly State WIA Performance Reports included in the Enterprise
Information Management System (EIMS); Unemployment Insurance Wage
Records |
Baseline |
There is no prior experience with this Workforce Investment Act
indicator, which is based on the use of Unemployment Insurance wage records.
DOL proposes to implement the new common performance measures for federal job
training and employment programs in support of the President's Management
Agenda. The proposed definitions for the entered employment, retention and
earnings measures vary from the current definitions; thus, new baselines for
these measures will need to be established. The cost per registrant is a new
measure and targets will be established and revised as baseline data collection
processes are created and approved through the Paperwork Reduction Act and as
data become available. |
Comment |
Definitions for the new common measures will probably affect the
proposed targets for the exiting employment, retention and earnings measures.
In most cases the level of performance will vary from prior performance due to
the new method in which the measures are calculated and may appear to be lower.
Once baseline data are available, these targets will need to be reviewed and
revised. |
Performance Goal 1.1B |
PY 2004: Improve the outcomes for job seekers and employers who
receive public labor exchange services.
PY 1999 2003: Same as 2004. |
Results |
PY 2002: The goal was not achieved.
- Due to the transition to a new measurement and reporting
system, ETA will not have a full set of nation-wide employment and retention
data until next year. Beginning in FY 2004, States will be reporting to
DOL the entered employment data for registrants served in the first quarter of
PY 2002. Out data for registrants served in the other quarters of PY 2002
will be reported in subsequent quarterly reports.
- 10.2 million openings were listed with the public labor
exchange: 6.1 million job openings were listed with the State Workforce
Agencies and 4.1 million job openings were posted directly on America's Job
Bank.
PY 2001: The six-month retention rate was not measured.
- The Employment Service will not begin collecting data until PY
2002 due to delays in implementing the new Labor Exchange Performance
Measurement System.
- The number of job openings listed increased by 8%, as a opposed
to a target of 10%, 11.8 million openings were listed with the public labor
exchange in PY 2001; 7.12 million were listed with State Workforce Agencies and
4.6 million job openings were posted directly on America's Job Bank.
PY 2000: Achieved for all indicators:
- 3.9 million (25%) of job seekers who received labor exchange
services entered employment;
- The number of job openings listed increased by 26.5% over
Program Year 1999, including 6.9 million with State Workforce Agencies and 5.4
million with America's Job Bank; and
- 66,563 new employers registered with America's Job Bank.
PY 1999: Achieved for all indicators |
Indicator |
PY 2004:
- 58%* of individuals who are not employed at registration will
be employed in the first quarter after program exit;
- 72%* of those employed in the first quarter after program exit
will be employed in the second and in the third quarters after program
exit;
- The earnings of individuals will increase by an average by
(percentage to be determined based on analysis during 2004) % between the
period of one quarter prior to registration and the first quarter after program
exit and by an average (percentage to be determined based on analysis during
2004) % between the first and third quarters after program exit.
PY 2003:
- 58% of job seekers registered with the public labor exchange
will enter employment with a new employer by the end of the second quarter
following registration; and
- 72% of job seekers will continue to be employed two quarters
after initial entry into employment with a new employer;
- The number of job openings listed with the public labor
exchange (with both State Workforce Agencies and America's Job Bank) will
increase by 1 percent over the total for PY 2002, as adjusted for economic
fluctuations;
- The number of job searches conducted by job seekers from
America's Job Bank will be collected to determine a baseline for setting future
performance targets; and
- The number of resume searches conducted by employers from
America's Job Bank will be collected to determine a baseline for setting future
performance targets.
PY 2002:
- 55%* of job seekers registered with the public labor exchange
will enter employment with a new employer by the end of the second quarter
following registration;
- 70%* of job seekers will continue to be employed two quarters
after initial entry into employment with a new employer; and
- The number of job openings listed with the public labor
exchange (with both SWA's and AJB) will be at least the number obtained by PY
2001.
PY 2001:
- 76% of job seekers registered by the Wagner-Peyser Act funding
stream will have unsubsidized jobs six months after initial entry into
employment; and
PY 2000:
- Increase by 1 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;
- Increase by 15%, the total number of job openings listed with
the public employment service, including both those listed with State
Employment Security Agencies (SESA's) and those listed directly with America's
Job Bank (AJB) via the Internet; and
- Increase the number of new employers registered with America's
Job Bank from 51,000 to 60,000.
PY 1999:
- Increase by 1 percentage point the share of applicants who
receive labor exchange services that enter employment; and
- Increase by 20%, the total number of job openings listed with
the public employment service, including both those listed with State
Employment Security Agencies (SESA's) and those listed directly with America's
Job Bank (AJB) via the Internet.

Baseline |
- New Labor Exchange Performance Measures became fully effective
in PY 2002. Outcome for participants served in PY 2002 but reported to DFOL in
PY 2003 will serve as baselines.
- DOL will implement the new common measures in support of the
President's Management Agenda. The definition for the entered employment,
measure varies from the current definition; thus, a new baseline for this
measure will need to be established. The retention, earnings and cost per
registrant are new measures and targets will be established and revised as
baseline data collection processes are created and approved through the
Paperwork Reduction Act and as data becomes available. Baseline data do not
exist for the proposed retention, earnings gain or cost indicators.

Definitions for the new common measures will probably affect the
proposed targets for the exiting employment, retention and earnings measures.
In most cases the level of performance will vary from prior performance due to
the new method in which the measures are calculated and may appear to be lower.
Once baseline data are available, these targets will need to be reviewed and

FY 2004: Improve the employment outcomes for veterans who
receive public labor exchange services and veterans program services
FY 2003: Same as FY 2002. FY 1999 2001: N/A |
Results |
FY 2003: The two indicators for veteran job seekers within
the labor exchange goal were not measured. A major transition was
underway during FY 2003 to a new system of measuring and reporting the outcomes
of public labor exchange services for veterans. Performance in response
to the FY 2003 goal will be treated in the FY 2004 Annual Performance and
Accountability Report.
FY 2003: The HVRP goal was met. During FY 2003, 60.3%
of the homeless veteran participants served by HVRP grantees successfully
entered employment, so the single HVRP entry to employment indicator was
achieved.
FY 2002: The single indicator for veteran jobseekers within the
labor exchange goal was achieved. The entered employment rate for
veterans assisted by the public employment service system was 42.84%.
FY 2002: The HVRP goal was not met. The FY 2002 result for
the HVRP entered employment rate indicator was 54.4%, exceeding the target of
54%. However, the baseline for the HVRP retention indicator was not
established, so the second indicator was not achieved.

During FY 2002 and FY 2003, DOL will transition to a new Labor
Exchange Performance Measurement system. Because there is no comparable
baseline, these measures will be regularly reviewed for appropriateness and
rigor as performance data become available. A baseline will be established for
the entered employment rate and retention rate goals based on FY 2002 and FY
2003 results. Baseline data currently do not exist for the veteran job seeker
entered employment and employment retention goals. For homeless veterans

from Program Year 2000 show a performance of 41% for the younger youth diploma
or equivalent attainment rate. The baseline for future goals will be
reestablished using a combination of final Program Year 2000 data and
preliminary Program Year 2001 data.
Older Youth Indicator: Preliminary annual report data from
Program Year 2000 show a performance of 65% for the older youth entered
employment rate and a performance of 77% for the older youth employment
retention rate. The baseline for future goals will be reestablished using a
combination of final Program Year 2000 data and preliminary Program Year 2001
data.
DOL will implement the new common measures in support of the
President's Management Agenda. The proposed definitions for these measures vary
from the current definitions; thus, new baselines for these measures will need
to be established. The literacy and numeracy and cost per registrant are new
measures and targets will be established and revised as baseline data
collection processes are created and approved through the Paperwork Reduction
Act and as data becomes available. |
Comment |
Definitions for the new common measures will probably affect the
proposed targets for the new and exiting measures. In most cases, the level of
performance will vary from prior performance due to the new method in which the
measures are calculated and may appear to be lower. Once baseline data are
available, these targets will need to be reviewed and revised. |

Baseline |
The entered employment/education goal is based upon graduates who
are placed by the first quarter after the expiration of a 12-month placement
service period that is provided to all graduates.
The credential attainment goal is based upon those students who
have attained a high school diploma, GED, or vocational certificate by the
first quarter after the 12-month placement service period has expired.
Outcomes for the literacy and numeracy gains goal are based upon
results from the Test for Basic Adult Education (TABE). The goal is based upon
students who attain literacy or numeracy gains while enrolled in the program.
DOL will implement the common measures in support of the
President's Management Agenda. The common measure definitions vary from the
current definitions; thus, new baselines for these measures will, in some
cases, need to be established. |
Comment |
Job Corps targets severely disadvantaged youth with a variety of
barriers to self-sufficiency, including deficiencies in education and job
skills. To achieve the enhanced quality of placement and job retention required
by the Workforce Investment Act, in Program Year 2003, Job Corps will focus
resources on program improvements that enhance the full Job Corps experience
for students, from reinforced outreach and admission strategies and center
program effectiveness to intensified center and post-center career development
support.
The targets for the performance indicators for six-month retention
and the average hourly wages for Program Year 2003 have been revised.
Program Year 2001 and 2002 data serve as the baseline for establishing a more
relevant target. Further, economic conditions have changed since the projection
of this goal, resulting in a revision that reflects the impact of this external
factor on the program's ability to achieve desired results.
Definitions for the new common measures will probably affect the
proposed targets for the exiting employment, retention and earnings measures.
In most cases, the level of performance will vary from prior performance due to
the new method in which the measures are calculated and may appear to be lower.
Once baseline data are available, these targets will need to be reviewed and
revised. |

Comment |
In FY 2003, WHD realized a 16% decease in the average number of
days in which to conclude a complaint from a baseline of 129 to
108. This represents a decline in the average days to conclude a
complaint that was well beyond that expected by the agency. WHD's
ultimate performance objective is to achieve a state of equilibrium between the
timely completion of complaint cases and the quality of the cases
completed. The higher the quality of cases, the more likely investigated
employers will achieve and sustain long-term compliance. Success in
meeting WHD's recidivism and low-wage goals, for example, are directly related
to the quality of the completed cases. WHD does not want to sacrifice
quality (and long term compliance) for speedier case resolution. Trend
data on this specific measure are available for only the last three
years. Therefore, it is not sufficient data for WHD to determine whether
the FY 2003 decrease was a one time decline that represents a near equilibrium
point or whether the decline will continue- albeit at a slower rate of
return. For these reasons, WHD has determined that the more prudent
course of action in FY 2004 is to maintain the average number of days to
conclude a complaint at the FY 2003 level. The agency will continue to
evaluate the measure to assess whether future changes are appropriate.
The baseline of 100% of DBA wage determinations updated within 60
days of receipt of underlying data was established in FY 2002; however, few
wage surveys were completed in FY 2002 because system improvements were being
implemented including processes for conducting statewide surveys nationwide and
those that were completed were smaller than surveys planned for FY 2004.
Given the new system changes, DOL expects that more surveys will be completed
in FY 2004, and those completed will be more complicated. Staff levels,
however, will remain the same or will be reduced. |
Performance Goal

Comment |
This is a new performance indicator developed during FY 2003 with
initial implementation in FY 2004. It has two targets. DOL conducts
audits to uncover embezzlements and other criminal and civil violations of the
law using streamlined investigative audit procedures. DOL will use union
audit data to measure the fraud level in unions and will seek to reduce fraud
levels through a range of activities to ensure union financial integrity.
The timeliness, accuracy, and completeness of statutorily required
union financial reports are critical to the public disclosure purposes of
LMRDA. Performance improvement is needed with regard to reporting,
because complaint reporting will result in better public disclosure and
financial integrity. By working to increase the percentage of union
reports meeting standards of acceptability for public disclosure, DOL will
improve the timeliness and quality of union reports. |
