4. Fund Allotments, Goals and Objectives. The U.S. Employment and Training
Administration (ETA) is awarding $32,000,000 in PY 2014 for WIGS. ETA distributes a
total of $176,800 to Guam and the Virgin Islands, and allocates the remaining $31,823,200
by formula to the states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. For the formula group, 40
percent is distributed equally and the remaining 60 percent is distributed based on each
jurisdiction’s relative share of the civilian labor force for the 12-month period ending
September 2013. Attachment 1 shows the allocations. Hereafter, we use the term “state”
to also include the District of Columbia and the territories.
Each year ETA funds these WIGS and specifies grant requirements. State workforce
agencies use WIGS to develop and disseminate essential state and local LMI-WI for job
seekers, employers, educators, economic developers, and others.
The main body of this TEGL describes required, encouraged and other allowable activities,
and explains the rationales for ETA policies and requirements. Attachment 2 summarizes
WIGS requirements, and includes important administrative details that are not covered
in the body of the guidance, such as deadlines and submission requirements for grant
deliverables.
5. Required, Encouraged, and Other Allowable Activities. WIGS primarily serve four
customer groups: 1) the public, including job seekers and employers; 2) labor market
intermediaries who help individuals find a job or make career decisions, such as employment
and school counselors, case managers at American Job Centers, and community-based
organizations; 3) policymakers, including state and local workforce boards, and employment
and economic program planners and operators; and 4) miscellaneous other customers,
including 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 produce a database (a below) plus two types of public
products (b and c below). If the grantee does not produce a required deliverable, it must
negotiate an extension and a revised schedule with the appropriate ETA regional office.
a. Workforce Information Database (WIDb). Accurate and reliable data are a
cornerstone of the nation’s workforce investment system. The WIDb includes the most
important workforce-related data elements and defines them consistently, ensuring
comparability across jurisdictions. Its variables include employment projections; wages;
educational programs; the locations of educational and training institutions; contact
information for all U.S. employers; and occupational licenses and certifications.
States must use WIGS funds to populate, maintain, and update the WIDb, and to provide
related staff training. Grantees must implement and maintain the most current version
(now 2.5) of WIDb and populate all Analyst Resource Center (ARC)-designated core
tables. The ARC Web site (www.workforceinfodb.org) describes all required data
elements and helps grantees obtain maximum benefit from the WIDb. The National
Crosswalk Service Center can help grantees to recode their occupational data, and
provides a repository for other types of crosswalks (515-242-5034 or
www.xwalkcenter.org). ETA uses the WIDb to offer career information and guidance via
CareerOneStop (www.careeronestop.org), ETA’s suite of national electronic tools for job
seekers and labor market intermediaries such as employment counselors, employers, and
many others.
b. State and local industry and occupational employment projections. These
projections are the most frequently-requested type of employment statistic besides the
unemployment rate. Projections are used 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 projections, produced by the states with assistance from ETA and BLS.
Because ETA views employment projections as among the most important products
funded by WIGS, its projections requirements are more stringent than for other WIGS
products (see the table below). 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 Administrator.
Grantees must use the methodology, software, and guidelines specified by the state-led
Projections Managing Partnership (PMP) to produce all projections. Additionally, the
Estimates Data System (EDS) is to be used to provide the staffing patterns for sub-state
projections. To meet these requirements, ETA encourages grantees to use WIGS funds to
obtain training provided by the PMP (see http://dev.projectionscentral.com/, click on
“Online Training” at the top), ARC, and other LMI-WI-related sources.

c. A statewide annual economic analysis report. ETA regards state economic and labor
market analyses as essential to plan WIA 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, less comprehensive economic reports of value to state policymakers (including the
governor and state legislature), as well as state and local workforce investment boards
(WIBs).
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 — of such
topics as gross domestic product; 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 and 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 jobless
targeted populations identified in ETA WIA/Wagner-Peyser integrated state planning
requirements specified on page 3 of the “State Integrated Workforce Plan Requirements
for Workforce Investment Act Title I/Wagner-Peyser Act and Department of Labor
Workforce Programs” (http://www.doleta.gov/usworkforce/wia-planning/docs/integrated-
planning-guidance.pdf).
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, etc.); or 5) reports
solely funded by Federal sources other than WIGS.
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
American Job Centers, policy makers, and the workforce investment system to make
informed decisions about the services, training, and career paths that lead to good jobs.
Examples of such miscellaneous products include online self-service tools and other
occupational and career guidance resources for job seekers; industry- or occupation-specific
research; and studies of topics of continuing interest such as labor or skill shortages,
mismatches, and deficiencies. ETA encourages grantees to review the reports issued by other
states to obtain useful ideas
(http://www.doleta.gov/performance/results/AnnualReports/annual_report.cfm).
Other allowable activities. ETA strongly encourages grantees to help their state Wagner-
Peyser, WIA, and other grant partners better identify and more rigorously report when
participants receive workforce information services, to ensure that performance reports better
measure the value and impact of LMI-WI. ETA also encourages grantees to 1) leverage
WIGS funds by expanding partnerships among the workforce investment system, and
education, training and economic development communities; and 2) apply for other Federal
and competitive grants to complement WIGS funds.
6. 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, and posting their products on the Internet.
a. Partnerships. In order to best serve their customers and optimize the Federal
investment, grantees are to establish and maintain partnerships that grantees consider
relevant and mutually beneficial. ETA believes that such partnerships can augment
resources, improve program outcomes, and help LMI-WI data influence planning and
program decisions.
b. Customer consultation. Wagner-Peyser §15(e)(2) (29 U.S.C. 49l-2(e)(2)) requires states
to consult with customers —including employers, WIBs, education agencies, and others
— about the relevance of the LMI collected and disseminated. ETA does not prescribe
how grantees consult customers, and methods can include focus groups, surveys, crowd-
sourcing, Webinars, listening sessions, customer satisfaction assessments, and/or other
methods considered appropriate by the grantee. Grantees must document these
consultations in their grant file and annual performance report.
c. Data collection and research methodology. All data collection activities must conform
to BLS technical standards and methodologies, except when the grantee documents a
defensible rationale for an alternative. 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.
d. Publication requirements. In order to maximize the availability of LMI-WI products,
grantees must post grant-funded products, reports, and workforce information on their
Web sites 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, and/or host LMI-WI Web
sites and other electronic delivery systems.
e. Information technology (IT) specifications. To maximize its usefulness, any IT system
or application developed with WIGS is to adhere to industry-standard, open architecture
principles with documentation and software made available for use by other organizations
for Federal governmental purposes.
7. Application for Federal Assistance, Recordkeeping and Reporting Requirements.
a. Application forms. In accordance with TEGL 18-13 (see p. 8), states must submit
through www.Grants.gov the SF 424 (Application for Federal Assistance) only.
However, the PY14 WIGS application must include a copy of both the SF 424 and SF
424A (Budget Information). See both “Action Required” below and Attachment 2 for
deadlines and other requirements. ETA regional offices will review and approve
acceptable WIGS applications. Following regional office approval, the National Grant
Officer issues a Notice of Obligation (NOO).
b. Other standard forms and files. ETA requires grantees to complete ETA Form 9130
quarterly financial reports, and to sign an annual funding agreement with ETA which
includes grantee assurances and certifications. In addition, grantees must maintain their
internal grant files in electronic form, and make these available upon request to ETA.
c. Expenditures. 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
during the July 1, 2014 to June 30, 2015 period, although carry-over is permitted.
Grantees must expend the funds within a three-year period by June 30, 2017. 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 29 CFR 97(Administrative Requirements) and OMB
Circular A-87 (Cost Principles, see http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/grants_circulars).
WIGS cannot be used to supplant funding from other Federal or state sources.
d. Annual performance report. Grantees must submit an annual performance report to
their ETA regional office that summarizes all grantee activities, and lists the core
deliverables and activities shown below, in the order indicated.
i. Workforce information database (WIDb)
ii. Industry and occupational employment projections
iii. Annual economic analysis and other reports
iv. Customer consultations
v. Activities undertaken to meet customer needs
vi. New tools and resources
vii. Efforts to create and support partnerships and collaborations
viii. Activities to leverage LMI-WI funding
ix. Recommendations to ETA for changes and improvements to WIGS requirements
In addition to providing a hyperlink or .docx version of the annual narrative report, states
must also enter their narrative report into the WIGS Annual Narrative Report System
(ANRS), whose implementation will occur after system programming and testing is
complete. The states will receive instructions and a user’s manual. The WIGS ANRS
data fields follow the report outline shown above; states may copy and paste sections of
the annual narrative into the ANRS data fields. The system’s database will eventually
allow queries and reports for each of the nine data elements at the following geographic
levels:
o national;
o ETA regional;
o selection of states grouped by small, medium, and large states, based on population;
and
o selection by state name, to allow multi-state regional reports.
8. Additional Resources. ETA’s Labor Market Information WIN-WIN Community of Practice
(https://winwin.workforce3one.org/page/home) is the agency’s principal repository of
technical assistance resources to enhance the use of economic and workforce data. These
resources include ETA’s Guide to State and Local Workforce Data and references pertaining
to skill shortages, mismatches and deficiencies; the identification of high growth and/or in-
demand jobs; and how to understand and use data for important populations such as
dislocated workers, persons with disabilities, veterans, and Native Americans. ETA
encourages the states to establish an Internet link somewhere on their LMI Web site to ETA’s
Labor Market Information WIN-WIN Community of Practice.
9. Action Required. The state workforce agency (SWA) must submit the SF 424 to Grants.gov
by May 30, 2014. The SWA must submit to the applicable ETA regional office by July 1,
2014 (unless a later date is negotiated with the regional office) an original and one copy of
the PY 2014 WIGS application package, which must include a 1) transmittal letter; 2) a copy
of the SF 424 (Application for Federal Assistance) submitted through www.Grants.gov in
accordance with TEGL 18-13 (see p. 8); and 3) SF 424A (Budget Information). The
transmittal letter must be signed by either 1) the governor or 2) both the SWA administrator
and the state WIB chairperson.
10. Inquiries. For questions on grant requirements, contact the applicable ETA regional office.
For financial management questions, contact the applicable ETA regional office; Grants
Management Specialist Sharon Carter at [email protected]; or National Grant Officer
Thomas Martin at [email protected].
