There are two principal goals of the
survey data collection: (1) to provide a national snapshot of the
different WIA allocation formulas states are using, and (2) to
identify alternative mechanisms by which states might consider
allocating funds, which can then be incorporated into quantitative
models examining how different allocation strategies impact funding
levels. Respondents will be key workforce officials in each
state.
