OES survey data assists in the development of employment and training programs established by the Perkins Vocational Education Act of 1998 and the Workforce Investment Act (WIA) of 1998.

Short Statement:
The total number of responses and the annual time burden remain unchanged. The four subtotals (private-voluntary, government-voluntary, private-mandatory, and government-mandatory) have changed since the last information collection request because Georgia has become a mandatory State and because the OES has shifted sample away from areas with a large number of establishments to areas with smaller numbers of establishments.
