American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA)
Employment Services -
Wagner-Peyser (WP)
The Wagner-Peyser Act of 1933 established a
nationwide system of public employment offices known as the Employment
Service. The Act was amended in 1998 to make the Employment Service part
of the One-Stop services delivery system.
The One Stop delivery system provides universal access to an integrated
array of labor exchange services so that workers, job seekers and
businesses can find the services they need in one stop and frequently
under one roof in easy-to-find locations.
The Nationwide Recovery Act funding to states for
Labor Exchange equals $396,000,000
Colorado’s allocation equals $6,212,434.
The federal allocation is based on need as
reflected by unemployment. The in-state allocation is based on
unemployment, the number of job seekers receiving service, and the size
of a region in square miles.
Labor Exchange allocations are separated into two
(2) categories (please click the following links for more information):
