Relates to the establishment of a wage data clearinghouse

This bill establishes a wage data clearinghouse in New York to analyze workforce development programs and identify gaps in job training. The state would contract an academic institution with expertise in labor data to manage this clearinghouse, providing it with existing unemployment insurance and wage information while strictly protecting personal privacy. An advisory board comprising representatives from education, labor, and the public would set research priorities and oversee the program's direction. The institution would receive up to $600,000 in funding to operate, and the state would evaluate the program's effectiveness annually and every four years.
