Question 38: Place of work

Information on a person's place of work is used to show local and regional commuter patterns and to determine what transportation networks would be needed to service the demand.
Indicate the regular places of work for all household members who are working, even if they are away from work temporarily on assignment, training or holidays.

[p. 10]

If Worked at the address specified below was marked, give as complete an address as possible. For persons who worked in an area where the same name is used for both the city, town or village as for the parish, township or municipality, indicate which is correct by including the type (for example, St. Andrew's town or St. Andrew's parish; Granby city or Granby municipality).
Mark Worked at home for persons whose place of work was in the same building or residence as where they lived. Examples might include dressmakers, apartment building superintendents or business owners who live above their store.
For persons who work in a different job site or location every day, or travel as part of their job, enter: (a) the address or name of their headquarters or depot if they report there before starting work each day; (b) the address or building name if they work part of the time at a fixed address; (c) no usual place in the space for address if they go directly from their home to various work locations.
