Definitions

adj

1

Fixed, not movable.

This figure, immobile and static in his heaviness, was assumed to be deeply asleep and therefore to introduce a note of humorous anecdotality to what should have been a tragic scene.

noun

1

One who does not or cannot move (e.g. to travel or live elsewhere).

[…] if the constrained "immobiles" are given the same transportation access as the unconstrained "mobiles" […]

Table 6.5 does indeed show that non-changers were more contented […] For Table 6.7 shows that even when we take account of the initial differences between the mobiles and immobiles, the mobiles' ratings of job characteristics move strongly in a positive direction while all the immobiles' record negative shifts. So the pattern is clear and consistent: jobs get better for movers and worse for non-movers.
