Care needs to be given when speaking of results.
Are they at the person level, exit quarter level,
UI quarter basis, customer group level, state
level or at the regional workforce development
board level?
18
A few individuals were found in more than one
out of state job, in more than one state!
19
Future directions for Floridas WRIS usage...

• Submit all records, not just those not found in
  Florida
• Request data for pre-program UI data using
  quarterly registrant filesas well as all post
  UI periods using exit files.
• Determine best method of WRIS usage for Florida
  considering costs benefits
• Determine how much performance value is actually
  added...
