Footnote 1

Refers to the general nature of the business carried out in the establishment where the person worked.

Footnote 2

The category 'Total - Single and multiple responses of language used at work' indicates the number of respondents who reported each language, either as their only response, or in combination with another language. Total responses represent the sum of single and multiple responses of the language used at work received in the census.

Footnote 3

A single response to the language used at work occurs when a respondent provides one language only.

Footnote 4

A multiple response to the language used at work occurs when a respondent provides two or more languages.

Footnote 5

This is a total population count. The sum of the languages in this table is greater than the total population count because a person may report more than one language in the census.

n.o.s. = not otherwise specified

Refers to the language used at work, as reported on May 10, 2016 by the individuals aged 15 years and over who worked since January 1, 2015.
