FutureWorks BI National Documentation
Data status, documentation, and reference materials for the national public PIRL dataset. Review before conducting analysis.
Data is refreshed quarterly upon release of the public PIRL file by the US Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration. The dataset covers WIOA Title I and Title III activities over a rolling four-quarter period.
Historical WIOA program year data is available starting with Program Year 2020. Review the record layout and appendices for each year before using that dataset.
WIOA Individual Performance Records (Public Use Data)
Reporting Period: 10/1/2024 – 9/30/2025Oklahoma data unavailable. Oklahoma records are not included in this dataset.
State where Title III participants are NOT assigned to Local Workforce Development Boards — CA, MI, OH, MN, TN, RI, WV. In these states, Title III Wagner-Peyser participants are not assigned a local Workforce Development Board location code. Impact Reports for these states only include outcomes for Title I participants.
WIOA Individual Performance Records (Public Use Data)
Reporting Period: 7/1/2024 – 6/30/2025Oklahoma data unavailable. Oklahoma records are not included in this dataset.
State where Title III participants are NOT assigned to Local Workforce Development Boards — CA, CT, AK, IN, NV, SC, NE, IA, VA, GA, CO, SD, MI, OH, MN, TN, RI, WV. In these states, Title III Wagner-Peyser participants are not assigned a local Workforce Development Board location code. Impact Reports for these states only include outcomes for Title I participants.
The outcomes are measured by matching customer social security numbers with state and interstate wage records for the four quarters (one full year) after a customer leaves the program. This means the report covers customers who left in the 12 months before the current rolling 4 quarter reporting period.
Distinct Customers of Title I and Title III - Customers who have been served by more than one Funding Source are counted just once. This distinct count more accurately reflects the number of individuals served by the board.
Important: How these Metrics Relate
| Section | Participants Included | Measurement Focus | Relationship |
|---|---|---|---|
| Economic Impact |
All participants who exited in the 12 months prior to the report period and had wages in at least one of the four quarters after exit. | Actual earnings (national source) or estimated annual earnings (state source), to show financial outcomes. | Includes all participants. |
| Employment Success |
A subset of the Economic Impact group: those who exited during the same 12-month period and were employed in the second quarter (Q2) after exit. | The percentage of participants employed in Q2 (the Employed Q2 measure). | All participants measured for Employment Success are included in Economic Impact, but the reverse is not true. |
monospace field names below are the column headers in the exported .xlsx file; the three Employment Success metrics are the same for both sources.The total money earned by all employed customers over the full four quarters after they left the program.
FutureWorks BI export field: Total Wages Rolling 4 Post
The average wage earned by all employed customers over the full four quarters after they left the program.
FutureWorks BI export field: Avg Wage Full Year Post
In FutureWorks BI these are the Total Wages Rolling 4 Post and Average Wage Full-Year Post measures.
State data source — estimated earningsA sum of the wages for the participants who exited during the reporting period, multiplied by 4 to get an estimate for the total annual earnings.
FutureWorks BI export field: Estimated Total Annual Earnings for All Employed (same as the report label)
The average 2nd-quarter-after-exit wage for those who exited during the reported period and had wages, multiplied by 4 to get an estimate for annual earnings.
FutureWorks BI export field: Estimated Average Annual Earnings per Employed (same as the report label)
These three metrics are identical for national and state reports.
Any customer who received staff-assisted services and left the program during the four quarters immediately preceding the current report period.
FutureWorks BI export field: den Employment Q2
Number of customers employed in the 2nd quarter after leaving the program.
FutureWorks BI export field: num Employment Q2
This is a key federal performance measure: Employment Rate – 2nd Quarter After Exit. It is the percentage of customers who were employed in the second quarter after leaving the program. Employment Rate – 2nd Quarter After Exit = Number of customers employed in the 2nd quarter after leaving the program divided by the total number of customers who were served with staff-assisted services and left the program.
FutureWorks BI export field: Employment Q2
In FutureWorks BI these are the Denominator Employment Q2, Numerator Employment Q2, and Employment Q2 measures. Employed Q2 is the rate: Employed ÷ Number of Customers Served and Exited.
