Problems Affecting the Accuracy and Timeliness of Employment Service Reporting Systems

In response to a congressional request, GAO reported on three types of reporting systems used by state employment services. GAO looked at the problems experienced with these systems, how the problems affect labor market information, operational and procedural problems that may prevent the successful implementation of various Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA) requirements, and factors which the Secretary of Labor should consider when formulating the guidelines and regulations for implementing the JTPA.
