  11. Data Sources • Wage Records • UI Wage Records • Additional Wage Record Data Sources: • Automated Record Matching / Data Sharing Systems (WRIS and FEDES) • OPM, USPS, US DoD, Railroad Retirement System, State New Hires Registry and State Department of Revenue or Tax • Supplemental Sources (only for grantees that do not have access to wage records, e.g. NFJP, SCSEP, INAP)

  12. UI Wage Records • Primary data source • Includes private sector and non-profit sector • Also includes government employer wage reports: • State • Local • Judicial, and • Public School

  13. Additional Wage Record Data Source: WRIS & FEDES WRIS (Wage Record Interchange System) • Created to facilitate the interstate exchange of UI wage data • 50 states participating FEDES (Federal Employment Data Exchange System) • Focused on providing access to employment records maintained by the following agencies: • Office of Personnel Management (OPM) • Department of Defense (DOD) and • United States Postal Service (USPS) • 29 states participating

  14. From Data Sources to Benchmarks • Wage data are collected, compiled and compared to established benchmark standards for purposes of data analysis • Two primary data sets used for establishing benchmark standards for purposes of analysis are: • Lower Living Standard Income Level (LLSIL) • Quarterly Census of Employment & Wages (QCEW)

  15. Lower Living Standard Income Level (LLSIL) • Data and methodology: • Based on the 1981 lower living family budget (BLS) • BLS still provides data to ETA which publishes the LLSIL • Uses the “Poverty Guidelines” issued by HHS • Annual updates based partially on the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) • Data are presented by geographic region and for 23 selected Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSA) NOTE: This data should not be used for statistical purposes due to the nature of the base calculation which has not been updated since 1981.

  16. Lower Living Standard Income Level (LLSIL) • Program uses: • 70% LLSIL used by WIA to define: • low income individual • disadvantaged youth • disadvantaged adult • Used in eligibility determinations under Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC) • Since the 70% LLSIL is used as an eligibility gateway to services under WIA Adult, the average earnings outcome should approach or exceed the one-half the 70% LLSIL rate

  24. Macrodata Output: Employment • All workers covered by UI laws and on the payroll as of the pay period including the 12th of the month. • Includes full and part time and those on paid leave. Does not include those on unpaid leave. • Published 3 ways: Monthly per quarter, quarterly averages, annual averages.

  25.

  28. Pre- vs. Post-Program Earnings’ Analysis Bill Meehan Principal Economist Division of Research and Statistics, New York State Department of Labor (518) 457-1300 us0bpm@labor.state.ny.us

  29. How Pre-Program Earnings Relate to Post-Program Earnings • Pre-program earnings can be a predictor of post-program earnings. In general: • The higher the pre-program earnings of a group of participants, the higher the post-program earnings • The lower the pre-program earnings of a group of participants, the lower the post-program earnings

  30. How Much Higher; How Much Lower? • In the Adult program in PY 2005 in New York State: • A 1 dollar change in pre-program earnings resulted in: • a 50 cent change in post-program earnings • In the Dislocated Worker program in PY 2005 in New York State: • A 1 dollar change in pre-program earnings resulted in: • a 30 cent change in post-program earnings

  31. How Was the Relationship Determined? • Simple observation of an apparent relationship between pre- and post-program earnings • Relationship was recognized under JTPA • The 30 cent and 50 cent relationships were determined using a regression analysis with pre-program earnings as the independent variable and post-program earnings as the dependent variable

  32. How strong is the relationship between pre- and post-program earnings? • The magnitude of the relationship (50 cents for Adults and 30 cents for DWs) was strongest in the middle earnings range of pre-program earnings • Not as strong in the low end • individuals with no pre-program earnings had much higher post-program earnings • Or in the high end • an increase in earnings in the higher range of the pre-program earnings ($15,000+) leads to an increase in post-program earnings, but not as much of an increase as in the lower pre-program earnings range
