LISHING  AN  ANNUAL EMPLOYMENT STATISTICS INDEX WHICH SHOWS THE RATES OF

NEED FOR IMPROVED USE BY UNEMPLOYED  WORKERS  WITHIN  SUCH  HAMLETS  AND
VILLAGES OF PUBLICLY FUNDED PROGRAMS FOR EMPLOYMENT TRAINING AND EMPLOY-
MENT-RELATED SERVICES.
  C. THE ANNUAL REPORT AND STATISTICS INDEX REQUIRED BY THIS SUBDIVISION
SHALL BE MADE AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC.
  S  2. This act shall take effect on the first of October next succeed-
ing the date on which it shall have become  a  law;  provided,  however,
effective  immediately, the regulations required by this act are author-
ized and directed to be made and completed on or before  such  effective
date.
