d. 1. Coordination of and provision of labor exchange services for UI claimants as required by the Wagner-Peyser Act;
Current Narrative:
Coordination of labor-exchange services for Unemployment Insurance claimants is provided through the Department of Workforce Services website. Claimants can sign into their accounts and see the status of their unemployment claim. The same page contains a link to search for work, where they can enter keywords to search for jobs. They are able to set parameters for the county they want to search and the number of miles from a specified ZIP code. In addition, a labor-market information link shows the wages of different occupations and the type of degree needed for those occupations. They are also able to inquire about how many projected job openings are available in Utah each year for a particular occupation.
