How the Florida WIOA numbers are made

  • Programs: every program in the fields on this site that Florida approved for WIOA funding, from the US Department of Labor's file for program year 2024 (July 2024 to June 2025).
  • People WIOA paid for: each program's count of people who trained there with a WIOA training account. Programs report it only from 3 people up, and some report nothing, so the totals are minimums.
  • Per 100,000 residents: approved programs divided by the Census Bureau's population estimate for July 1, 2024.2
  • Metro areas are the Census Bureau's; a program counts where its classes are held.

How reliable are the Florida figures?

We leave out the share working 6 months later for Florida Atlantic University: it reports about 5% of students working six months later while the same students earn $10,000 to $20,000 a quarter, which cannot both be right.
