SUBJECT: Program Year (PY) 2019 Workforce and Labor Market Information Grants to
States (WIGS): Program Guidance and Deliverables
1. Purpose. To provide program guidance for the development, management, and delivery of
workforce and labor market information (WLMI) funded through the WIGS.
2. Action Requested. Per the grant agreement, during the course of the year, grantees must
provide the deliverables according to the requirements and timeframes outlined in
Attachment 1. As described in TEGL 16-18, to initiate the PY 18 WIGS, state workforce
agencies (SWA) were required to submit the SF 424 to Grants.gov by May 10, 2019.
3. Summary and Background.
a. Summary – This guidance, published annually, specifies grant requirements for WIGS.
ETA funds these WIGS and specifies grant requirements.
b. Background – State workforce agencies use WIGS to develop and disseminate
essential state and local WLMI for job seekers, employers, educators, economic
developers, and others. This TEGL describes required, encouraged, and other allowable
activities, and explains the rationale for ETA policies and requirements.
4. Required, Encouraged, and Other Allowable Activities. State workforce agencies use
WIGS to develop and disseminate essential state and local WLMI for a range of customer
groups: 1) job seekers; 2) businesses/employers; 3) workforce and labor market
intermediaries such as employment, school, and career counselors, and case managers at
American Job Centers (AJCs), who help individuals find a job or make career decisions, or
engage businesses seeking skilled workers; 4) program and service planners at educational

institutions and community-based organizations; 5) policy makers, including state and local
workforce development boards (WDBs); 6) partners, such as economic development entities
and human resource professionals; and 7) other customers, including recipients of workforce
development grants, researchers, commercial data providers, and the media. Grantees have
considerable flexibility to meet customer needs, but must consult their customers and prepare
several types of products.
Required products. Grantees must populate and maintain a database (a below), produce two
types of public products (b and d below), and ensure staff are adequately trained (c below).
If the grantee does not produce any of the four required deliverables, it must negotiate an
extension and a revised schedule with the appropriate ETA regional office.
a. Workforce Information Database (WID). WID 2.8 will be released in the coming
months. The states are required to implement WID 2.8 within 14 months of its release.
Accurate and reliable data are a cornerstone of the nation’s workforce investment system.
The WID includes the most important workforce-related data elements and defines them
consistently, ensuring comparability across jurisdictions. The Analyst Resource Center
(ARC), an ETA-funded grantee which supports consistent LMI data collection, provides
and maintains information on the structure and content of the WID at
www.widcenter.org/structure-2/, including background for this state requirement at
www.widcenter.org/why-a-standard-structure/.
States must use WIGS funds to populate, maintain, and update the WID. States must
also use WIGS funds to provide related staff training necessary to meet the WID
requirements. Grantees must implement and maintain the most current version (soon to
be 2.8) of WID and populate all ARC-designated core tables. The ARC website
(www.widcenter.org/document/all-core-tables/) describes all required data elements and
helps grantees obtain maximum benefit from the WID. ETA uses the WID to offer
career information and guidance via CareerOneStop (www.careeronestop.org), ETA’s
suite of national electronic tools for job seekers, labor market intermediaries, and
employers.
b. State and local industry and occupational employment projections. These
projections are one of the most frequently requested types of employment statistics.
Projections are used to identify in-demand industries and occupations for career
guidance; to plan employment, education and training, and economic development
programs; as supporting documentation to apply for Federal grants; and for many other
purposes. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) funds national employment
projections, but WIGS fund the state and local (sub-state) projections produced by the
states with assistance from ETA and BLS.
The employment projections requirements are described in the table following sub-
section e below and deadlines for these products are established by the Projections
Managing Partnership (PMP), a state consortium. ETA’s requirements do not differ
between industry and occupational projections, but vary for long-term vs. short-term
projections and statewide vs. sub-state projections. ETA grantees who are unable to
produce the required projections must report this to their ETA regional office.
Grantees must use the methodology, software, and guidelines specified by the state-led
PMP to produce all projections. Additionally, grantees must use the Local Employment
and Wage Information System (LEWIS) to provide the staffing patterns for sub-state
projections. To meet these requirements, grantees may use WIGS funds to obtain
training provided by the PMP (see https://support.projectionscentral.com), ARC (see
www.widcenter.org), LEWIS (www.lewissupport.com/) and other LMI-related sources.
Finally, state projections must be posted on the PMP website
(https://support.projectionscentral.com) as well as on the state LMI website.
c. Employee development and LMI training for service delivery. In accordance with
section 3(c)(4) of the Wagner-Peyser (29 U.S.C. 49b(c)(4)), as amended by section
303(b)(2) of WIOA, states must provide employee development and LMI training to
ensure quality service delivery. In an effort to promote robust use of LMI, ETA
encourages state LMI offices to provide training to state workforce agency staff, local
AJCs, WBDs, vocational rehabilitation providers, providers to veterans returning to the
civilian workforce, providers assisting citizens re-entering the workforce after
incarceration, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Employment and Training
(SNAP E&T) providers, and Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF)
providers. The training provided, and to whom, should be identified in the state’s WIGS
Annual Performance Report. The provision of LMI training will help support a one-stop
delivery system that provides high quality and professional services to the job seeker and
businesses.
d. A statewide annual economic analysis report. ETA regards state economic and labor
market analyses as essential to plan WIOA and other workforce programs. Therefore,
ETA requires statewide economic analysis reports, and encourages annual publication.
However, ETA recognizes that conditions may not change sufficiently each year to
necessitate an annual report, and gives states the discretion to determine their frequency.
For years in which a comprehensive economic report is not issued, grantees must publish
other economic reports of value to state policymakers (including the governor and state
legislature), as well as state and local WDBs. Economic reports created by the state must
be posted to the state LMI website.
Grantees have broad discretion over the reports’ contents, but they should include
analyses of trends and challenges at both the state and sub-state levels. Examples of
topics may include: employment growth or decline (actual and projected); unemployment
and other labor market hardship indicators (such as low earnings); identification of
growing and/or in-demand occupations and/or industries; other analyses of important
industries and occupations; and skill shortages, mismatches or deficiencies, within the
limitations of the available data. The analyses should address the jobless population as a
whole, as well as the experiences, needs, and challenges of the targeted populations
identified in state planning requirements.
ETA will not accept the following submissions for the economic analysis report or its
substitute: 1) data tables alone; 2) job listings; 3) maps alone; 4) reports done by the
grantee for BLS (e.g., news releases, employment situation reports, projections, etc.); 5)
reports solely funded by Federal sources other than WIGS; or 6) any publication that does
not contain any economic analysis related to that state.
e. Annual Performance Report. Grantees must submit a WIGS Annual Performance
Report to their ETA regional office that summarizes all grantee activities, including
the core deliverables and activities shown below, in the order indicated, by October 1
each year.
i. Workforce information database (WID);
ii. Industry and occupational employment projections;
iii. LMI training for service delivery; and
iv. Annual economic analysis and other reports.
Whether a core or optional activity, each summary must identify:
i. A description of the activity;
ii. How customer consultation is used in each activity;
iii. Which customer needs are met by each activity; and
iv. If the activity supports collaborations or leveraged funding.
Grantees are also asked to make any recommendations or suggestions to their regional
office for improving the use of WIGS funding.
Please note: The WIGS Annual Performance Report must be signed by the state
workforce agency head prior to submittal to the regional office. If this is not possible, a
written justification explaining why the state workforce agency head has not signed must
be provided to Federal Project Officer (FPO) for this grant.

Required Methods. Grantees have considerable flexibility in conducting their work, but
must meet certain methodological standards in collaborating with partners; consulting with
customers; collecting data; disseminating statistics; maintaining data integrity,
confidentiality, and security; and posting their products on the Internet.
a. Partnerships. In order to best serve their customers and optimize the Federal
investment, grantees should establish and maintain partnerships that grantees consider
relevant and mutually beneficial. Such partnerships help to increase resources, improve
program outcomes, and help WLMI data influence planning and program decisions.
Examples of partnerships to develop may include schools (K-12, 2-year college,
universities, career and technical schools), state-wide and local WDB and economic
development boards, any eligible training provider, SNAP E&T agencies, TANF
agencies, veteran-serving organizations, and other government agencies in your states
and regions that use LMI or can use LMI in their planning and decision-making.
b. Customer consultation. One of the key tenets of WIOA is meeting the needs of
businesses and jobseekers. Further, WIOA requires states to consult with customers,
including employers, WDBs, core partner programs such as education agencies,
participants, students, and others about the relevance of the WLMI collected and
disseminated. WIGS grantees must consult with customers to ensure the workforce
system is providing relevant and integrated information to support decision-making by
state and local WDBs and other stakeholders. ETA does not prescribe how to perform
outreach, but suggests it be performed in collaboration with other workforce system
entities that are doing similar outreach, such as business engagement or industry outreach
staff at the state and local level. Grantees must document these consultations in their
WIGS Annual Performance Report.
c. Data collection and research methodology. All ETA-funded data collection,
population, and dissemination activities must conform to the appropriate BLS, PMP,
ARC, or generally accepted professional standards and methodologies. Information
used in reports must: 1) be based in part on needs identified through customer
consultations and product assessments; and 2) come from credible sources that meet
professional standards. Multiple sources must be used, except when the report is based
upon a single survey. Sources must be clearly referenced and/or footnoted. Any
additional methodologies employed and any variants encountered in the research must be
clearly described.
d. Publication requirements. In order to maximize the availability of WLMI products,
grantees must post grant-funded products, reports, and workforce information on their
websites in a readily accessible manner (unless otherwise indicated), and meet standard
Federal accessibility requirements (www.section508.gov). To meet this criterion,
grantees may use WIGS funding to develop, maintain, improve, or host WLMI websites
and other electronic delivery systems. Grantees must also use the approved language in
Attachment 2 on products or sites that are funded by WIGS. This language is in
Attachment 2 for convenience but is a standard requirement included in ETA grant award
documents.
e. Information technology (IT) specifications. To maximize its usefulness, any IT system
or application developed with WIGS should adhere to industry-standard, open
architecture principles with documentation and software made available for use by other
organizations for Federal governmental purposes. To enhance the reporting of the
delivery of both virtual, in-person, and hard copy WLMI services to customers, states are
encouraged to work toward greater management information system (MIS) integration to
capture WLMI services provided.
Additionally, states are encouraged to maintain and share with ETA state LMI website
analytics, such as the number of visitors, page views, top LMI pages or websites visited,
or other analytics the state would like to share. This information should be reported in
the WIGS Annual Performance Report.
Required forms, files, and deadlines. Please refer to TEGL No. 16-18 for application
submission requirements for PY 2019 WIGS grants. Note that this TEGL specified a due
date of May 10, 2019 for submission of application forms.
a. Other standard forms and files. ETA requires grantees to complete ETA Form 9130
quarterly financial reports within 45 days of the end of each quarter. In addition, grantees
must maintain their internal grant files in electronic form, and make these available upon
request to ETA.
b. Deadlines. By accepting WIGS funding, a state agrees to fulfill all work specified in this
guidance, including the deadlines. ETA expects grantees to expend WIGS funds using a
“First in First Out” spending system. All funds received from an earlier date should be
expended before spending funds received from a later grant. Any carryover must be
expended before spending new funding. Grantees must expend the funds within the three-
year period ending June 30, 2022. During the performance period, the grantee and the
ETA regional office may jointly adjust planned expenditures within the state’s allotment.
All WIGS expenditures must support the required and allowable activities, and conform
to "reasonable," "necessary," and "allocable" costs specified in 2 CFR 200 (Uniform
Guidance see: https://cfo.gov//cofar/#RUUG). WIGS cannot be used to supplant funding
from other Federal or state sources. Please contact your regional FPO if you have
questions or need technical assistance.
Encouraged economic and labor market reports and products. ETA encourages grantees to
produce other reports and data in addition to those specified above. Grantees have wide
discretion in both the topics and presentation format. These reports should include accurate
data, actionable information, and resources that enable job seekers, employers, staff in AJCs,
state and local WDBs, policy makers, and the workforce investment system to make
informed decisions about the work-based learning, training, reemployment, and career
pathways strategies that lead to worker advancement along a continuum of high-demand and
higher wage jobs. Examples of such other products include: online self-service tools and
other occupational and career guidance resources for job seekers; industry- or occupation-
specific research; data visualizations, job vacancy surveys; supply/demand analysis; reports
based on analyses of on-line job orders (job ads) data sources; and studies of topics of
continuing interest such as labor or skill gaps, mismatches, or deficiencies. Examples of
these reports and products are found on state websites and various US Department of Labor
websites.
Other allowable activities. ETA encourages states to provide training and technical
assistance to customers outside of the required LMI training for state and local workforce
development staff. All LMI training provided by WIGS funded staff should be reported in
the WIGS Annual Performance Report and should include the following information:
i. Type of LMI training provided
ii. The customer group receiving the training
iii. Date
iv. Location
v. Estimated number of individuals receiving the training
ETA also encourages grantees to leverage WIGS funds by expanding partnerships among the
workforce investment system, and education, training, and economic development
communities.
