Bristol County is comprised of the Towns of Barrington, Bristol and Warren, more affectionately known as the East Bay.

The East Bay employs more than 13,000 workers in industries such as manufacturing, high-tech, health care, financial, industrial and service-oriented businesses. The East Bay is home to several national and international companies, such as Taylor Box, WaterRower, Tri-Mack Plastics, and Huestis, to name a few. 

The presence of so many notable companies means a low unemployment rate —4.8 to 3.6 percent compared to 5.1 percent statewide and 5 percent nationwide (June 2016) — and an enviable debt ratio. Moody's Investor Services has rated Barrington, Bristol and Warren, collectively, with an Aa2 rating, representing the area's high intrinsic, or standalone, financial strength.
