A significant portion of the workforce and labor market information—defined in § 651.10 of this chapter—are developed using State wage records.

Based on the Secretary of Labor's responsibilities described in Wagner-Peyser Act sec. 15 and § 652.300, the Secretary of Labor will, in consultation with Federal agencies, and States, and considering recommendations from the Workforce Information Advisory Council described in Wagner-Peyser Act sec. 15(d), develop:

Standardized definitions for the data elements comprising “wage records” as defined in § 652.301; and

Improved processes and systems for the collection and reporting of wage records.

In carrying out these activities, the Secretary also may consult with other stakeholders, such as employers.
