Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance

In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended ("Act"), 19 U.S.C. § 2273, the Department of Labor
herein presents the results of an investigation regarding
certification of eligibility to apply for worker adjustment
assistance.
The group eligibility requirements for workers of a firm
under Section 222(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a), are
satisfied if the following criteria are met:
(1) a significant number or proportion of the
workers in such workers' firm have become totally or
partially separated, or are threatened to become
totally or partially separated;
(2)(B)(i)(I) there has been a shift by the workers'
firm to a foreign country in the production of
articles or supply of services like or directly
competitive with those produced/supplied by the
workers' firm; OR
(II) there has been an acquisition from a
foreign country by the workers' firm of
articles/services that are like or directly
competitive with those produced/supplied by
the workers' firm; AND
(ii) the shift/acquisition must have contributed
importantly to the workers' separation or
threat of separation.

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on November 21, 2018, by a state workforce office on
behalf of workers of MetrixLab US, Inc., including workers
whose wages were reported through Acturus, Inc., a subsidiary
of Macromill Group, Data Processing Services, Wexford,
Pennsylvania ("MetrixLab US, Inc."). The workers' firm is
engaged in activities related to the supply of market research
and business/brand consulting services to a variety of
domestic and global clients. The subject worker group for
which the petition was filed supplies data processing services
internally to the firm.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the petitioner and workers' firm.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
number or proportion of the workers in such workers' firm have
become totally or partially separated, or are threatened to
become totally or partially separated.
Section 222(a)(2)(B) has been met because the workers'
firm has shifted to a foreign country the supply of a service
like or directly competitive with the service supplied by the
workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at MetrixLab US, Inc.


Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of MetrixLab US, Inc.,
including workers whose wages were reported through Acturus,
Inc., a subsidiary of Macromill Group, Data Processing
Services, Wexford, Pennsylvania, who are engaged in activities
related to the supply of data processing services, meet the
worker group certification criteria under Section 222(a) of the
Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a). In accordance with Section 223 of the
Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2273, I make the following certification:
"All workers of MetrixLab US, Inc., including workers
whose wages were reported through Acturus, Inc., a
subsidiary of Macromill Group, Data Processing Services,
Wexford, Pennsylvania, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after November 20, 2017,
through two years from the date of certification, and all
workers in the group threatened with total or partial
separation from employment on the date of certification
through two years from the date of certification, are
eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under Chapter 2
of Title II of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended."
Signed in Washington, D.C. this 31st day of December 2018.
