e. 4. 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:

Florida is the second most MSFW significant state in the country, behind California. In PY 2015 the state had a total of 18,359 MSFW applicants in its labor exchange system and in PY 2016 there were a total of 18,723 MSFW applicants. These reductions in MSFW applications from PY 2013 and PY 2014, 19,930 and 20,436 respectively, are likely attributed to MSFWs not returning to Florida after migrating north for work and an increase in the use of foreign workers through the H-2A program.

Florida meets its goals providing services to MSFWs on a quantitatively proportionate level as those provided to non-MSFWs. MSFW Indicators of Compliance Reports for the past four program years show all five equity ratio indicators are met. These indicators are: referrals to jobs, referrals to supportive services, received staff assisted services, career guidance and job development contacts.
