e. 6. 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:

Over the past four years, the state has consistently been unable to meet the Wagner-Peyser Act performance data goals in relation to services for MSFWs. The primary reason for this is a lack of eligible domestic MSFW participants and our inability to capture data on domestic farmworkers in general. WFWV is in the process of developing an agricultural employer universe in order to better understand where our agricultural businesses are located and the nature of the types of workers they hire. Additionally, we have partnered with the WVU extension and the Farm Bureau of WV to raise awareness among farmworkers about our services and programs in order to try to provide services to a larger number of domestic seasonal farmworkers.
