The survey results will be used to estimate the size of the measurement gap—the difference between the reported EER and the true EER. In estimating the true EER, we will estimate the number and percentage of veterans who are unsuccessful finding jobs. Further, this collection will allow DOL to learn key characteristics and reasons why some veterans have difficulty or fail to find jobs, learn what services were received and what veterans thought of them, and learn what services were not received and whether they were needed.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    The purpose of this information collection is to learn more about 
veteran users of One-Stop Career Centers who do not appear to have had 
successful employment outcomes. The survey data collected will help 
determine to what extent the apparent lack of successful outcomes for 
veteran job seekers, as measured by the participating state's reported 
entered employment rate (EER), corresponds to an actual lack of success 
or to measurement methods. If current measurement methods are 
inaccurate, the collection will provide information about the nature of 
the problem. The survey results will be used to estimate the size of 
the measurement gap--the difference between the reported EER and the 
true EER. In estimating the true EER, we will estimate the number and 
percentage of veterans who are unsuccessful finding jobs.
    Further, this collection will allow DOL to learn key 
characteristics and reasons why some veterans have difficulty or fail 
to find jobs, learn what services were received and what veterans 
thought of them, and learn what services were not received and whether 
they were needed.
