Novem ber 1971, c o n sists of the following a re a s in Rhode Island: C entral F a lls , Cranston, E a s t P rovidence, Pawtucket, Providence, and Woonsocket
c itie s, and seven towns in Providence County: N arragan sett and North Kingston towns in Washington County; Warwick city and three towns in Kent
County; all of B risto l County; and Jam estow n town in Newport County; and in M a ssach u se tts: Attleboro city and nine contiguous towns in B risto l,
Norfolk, and W orcester Counties. The "w orkers within scope of study" e stim a te s shown in this table provide a reason ably accu rate d escription
of the size and com position of the labor force included in the survey. The e stim a te s are not intended, however, to serve a s a b a sis of com parison
with other employment indexes for the a re a to m easu re employment tren ds or lev e ls since (1) planning of wage su rvey s re q u ires the u se of
establishm ent data com piled con siderably in advance of the payroll period studied, and (2) sm all establish m en ts are excluded from the scope of
the survey.

6 This industry division i s rep resen ted in e stim a te s for "a ll in d u strie s" and "nonm anufacturing" in the S e r ie s A tab le s. Separate presentation
of data for this division i s not m ade for one or m ore of the following re a so n s: (1) Employment in the division is too sm all to provide enough data
to m erit sep arate study, (2) the sam ple was not designed in itially to perm it sep arate presentation, (3) resp on se was insufficient or inadequate to
perm it sep arate presentation, and (4) there is p ossib ility of d isclo su re of individual establishm ent data.
