Explanation: We provided a low estimate for the number of products to be disseminated to customers in the first year of the Career Resource Network because we thought only a few states would be able to fully implement their programs. However, more States than anticipated implemented programs and disseminated more products than expected.   		Additional Source Information: America's Career Resource Network Annual Performance Report.

Frequency: Semi-Annually.
Collection Period: 2003
Data Available: September 2004
Validated By: No Formal Verification.
Data supplied by states on an OMB-approved report form

Limitations: The number of products is a duplicated count; that is, it accounts for multiple copies of the same product being disseminated to one or more customers.
