1 Refers to the relationship between a person's usual place of residence on Census Day and his or her usual place of 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 965 jobs in French River, and an employed resident labour force of 1,045, indicating that French River was a net “exporter” of at least 80 employees. The net export/import calculation is simply the number of jobs in each of French River's industries minus the number of French River'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 French River.
The size of the French River employed resident labour force exceeds the jobs available in almost all industry sectors in French River except educational services.
