2018 Workforce Registries and the School-Age Workforce

Workforce Registries and the School-Age Workforce:  A Report to the National Center on
Afterschool and Summer Enrichment

Workforce registries have been a recognized source of data about the early childhood and school-age workforce for many years. The earliest registries were established in the 1990’s, but the majority began operation from 2000-2010. Even today, states are in the process of establishing workforce registries. Those already established are often upgrading to more robust systems or becoming mandatory for portions of the workforce. There are currently 40 states with operating workforce registries, either regionally or at a statewide level.
