Where does this data come from?

Each quarter, U.S. DOL releases detailed data on the over 12 million customers served by Title I and Title III of WIOA. Each data release contains a rolling four quarters of data. The WIOA PIRL Public Use file used by this dashboard is further described on the U.S. DOL Performance website


There are many views within FutureWork's PM National application service that provide analysis of performance against negotiated performance goals.

The color-coding on the dashboard map is designed to show the extent of the difference from the actual average national outcome for each indicator. The color codes are not intended to show whether a state is exceeding, meeting or failing its negotiated performance goals which could be higher or lower than these national average outcomes. Example:
Adult Employment Rate Q2
National Average Outcome 69%
State of OZ Actual Outcome 66%
Percent of National Outcomes 66/69= 96% = Yellow
