residence one year earlier. A person is classified as a non-mover if no difference exists. Otherwise, a person is classified
as a mover and this categorization is called Mobility status (1 year ago). Within the category of movers, a further
distinction is made between non-migrants and migrants; this difference is called migration status.
2
Non-movers are persons who, on Census Day, were living at the same address as the one at which they resided one
year earlier.
3
Movers are persons who, on Census Day, were living at a different address from the one at which they resided one year
earlier.
4
Non-migrants are movers who, on Census Day, were living at a different address, but in the same census subdivision
(CSD) as the one they lived in one year earlier.
5
Migrants are movers who, on Census Day, were residing in a different CSD one year earlier (internal migrants) or who
were living outside Canada one year earlier (external migrants).

3.5 Net Import & Export of Labour Force
The next table highlights industry sectors in which there is a net “export” or “import” of
labour. In 2006, there were 2,310 jobs in Greenstone, and an employed resident labour
force of 2,425, indicating that Greenstone was a net “exporter” of at least 115
employees. The net export/import calculation is simply the number of jobs in each of
Greenstone's industries minus the number of Greenstone's residents working in that
particular industry. It is important to note that the export/import numbers indicated
under-represent the actual numbers of employees, as this calculation assumes all of the
employed resident labour force in that industry works in Greenstone.
The size of the Greenstone employed resident labour force exceeds the jobs available in
the following industry sectors in Greenstone: agriculture, construction, health care and
social assistance, and administrative and support, waste management and remediation
services.
