How are MLS program data used?
MLS data are used for the following purposes: • Sub-state allocations of Federal funds for dislocated workers through the Economic Development and Worker Adjustment Assistance Act. • Analysis of ailing industries or geographic areas. • Identifying the causes and scope of worker dislocation, especially in terms of the human and economic costs, and the characteristics of dislocated workers. • Development of approaches for work force planners and labor market analysts in assisting employers and/or workers at the local level. • Analysis of potentially available labor market supply.
