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.
