Further Details and Implementation Examples
Specific customer file examples and the U.S. DOL Office confirmation of answers are provided below to illustrate how supplemental earnings data affects the Adult and Dislocated Worker Average Earnings measures. These same criteria minus references to second quarter employment retention will apply to the Older Youth Earnings Gain measure, which did not change for PY06.
REMINDER: UI wage records will be the only data source for the earnings measures. Therefore, individuals whose employment in the first, second AND/OR third quarter after exit was determined from supplemental employment data sources, and not from UI wage records, are excluded from the measure. The role of the "first, second AND/OR third quarter" filter plays a key factor in determining the exclusions for the denominator.
| #1 Jane Doe: | Has no earnings in Quarter (Q)1, Q2 and Q3. Answer: May not necessarily be excluded from the denominator. Jane may have appeared in the UI wage file and earned $0.00 in all three quarters. This would be a unique scenario, but the presence of Jane in the UI wage file in Q1, Q2 and Q3 after the exit quarter would put her in the measure. Otherwise, if Jane was not found employed in the first quarter after the exit quarter (whether through UI or supplemental), she would definitely be excluded from the measure. |
