Positive Impacts: Employment Information for On-site Jobs
Each on-site business was researched in the Dun & Bradstreet (D&B) Database, from which the number of
employees and sales volume information was gathered. D&B is a company that provides information on
businesses and corporations. It maintains a database of over 179 million companies globally and over 53 million
professional contact names using a variety of sources including public records, trade references, tele-
communication providers, newspapers and publications, telephone interviews among other various sources
(http://www.dnb.com/).
The Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) number is a unique nine-digit identification number assigned by
D&B to each business and its location within the D&B database for the purpose of identifying each business.1

Businesses featured in "Reuse and the Benefit to Community: Wells G&H" case study which did not report to D&B
Two on-site businesses located at the Wells G&H site featured in the report do not submit data to D&B. These
include: Atlantic Express Bus Yard and Winchester Dog Club. One job was assumed to be associated with each of
these businesses.
Positive Impacts: Wage and Income Information for On-site Jobs
Wage and income information was gathered using the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) data. The BLS is a
governmental statistical agency that collects, processes, analyzes and disseminates essential statistical data to
the American public, the U.S. Congress and other Federal agencies in the broad field of labor economics and
statistics. The data provided by the BLS has high standards of accuracy and consistently high statistical quality
and impartiality in both subject matter and presentation.
1 D&B updates its company reports on an annual basis. Data from D&B used for this analysis was collected in
May 2011.

-------
Average weekly wage data for each of the businesses located at the former Aberjona Auto Parts property was
collected from the BLS Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages database. Average weekly wage data was
identified by matching the six-digit North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes corresponding
with each type of business with weekly wage data for corresponding businesses in Middlesex County.2 To
determine the annual wages (mean annual) earned from jobs generated by each of the business located at the
former Aberjona Auto Parts property, the average weekly wage figure was multiplied by the number of weeks in
a year (52) and by the number of jobs (employees) for each of the businesses.
