 provisions of the following sections of this article, the wage board and
 the  commissioner  shall  consider  the  amount  sufficient  to  provide

 board and the commissioner shall consider the value of the work or clas-
 sification of work performed, and the wages paid in the state  for  work
 of  like  or comparable character.   FURTHER, THE COMMISSIONER SHALL USE
 EXISTING EMPLOYMENT DATA TO PREPARE AN ANALYSIS OF THE  POSSIBLE  AGGRE-
 GATE  COST  INCURRED  BY BUSINESSES LOCATED WITHIN THE STATE OF NEW YORK
 FOR SUCH AN INCREASE.
