This LDS will meet all requirements for integrated data collection and reporting to support the coordinated implementation of State Strategies. It will integrate data collection, reporting, and analysis of labor market information systems, data systems, communications and case-management systems, job banks, and all related data to inform decision making and to facilitate evaluation of programs, activities, and strategies.
