Book Description

Excerpt from Labor Bulletin of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts: November, 1900 The tables included in this article classify the number of persons engaged in the leading industries of the State in such manner as will at once disclose which are the leading industries in each city and town, upon the basis of respective numbers employed. The statistics are derived from the latest State Census, taken in 1895, but they are not given in this form in the census volumes, and the comparisons which the table makes possible are therefore novel. It should be mentioned that the figures cover persons resident in the cities and towns named but not necessarily actually employed in the same city or town. Generally the place of residence and the place of employment are within the same municipality, but there are of course some marked exceptions to this rule, particularly with respect to cities and towns adjacent to the city of Boston, it being frequently the case that the place of employment is in Boston and the place of residence in some suburban town or city.
