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:

A review of Indiana’s data reports on performance shows that in the early part of this decade, Indiana consistently failed two of the five measures relative to equity, “Referred to Support Service” and “Career Guidance”. Since the 9/30/2013 report, Indiana has hit 4 out 5 equity measures in every quarter except for one report where we were 3 out of 5. Indiana has met the equity indicator for “Referred to Support Service” for the past 6 quarterly reports and we are pleased with that improvement since the beginning of 2010.

Although Indiana is not a significant MSFW state and has no designated MSFW-specific local offices, labor exchange services continue to be enhanced, refined, and/or developed to meet the goal of providing MSFWs the same qualitative and quantitative service needs that are proportionate to those provided to other applicants. Also, visits and discussion with local office staff/customers revealed no presence of inequities in the delivery of services to farmworkers. Ongoing review of performance data and continued discussions with local office staff and customers will be used to improve services in order to meet MSWF goals.
