Anna, Test Valley: Jobs

Most people in Anna's neighbourhood work in retail, public services, or education. Nearly half drive to their jobs, though working from home is just as common now. Retail and wholesale is the biggest employer, followed by education, health and social work, and public administration. Construction and professional services also provide plenty of jobs. Driving is how most people get to work. But 1,310 residents — around 42% of the working population — work mainly from home. That's a significant figure and points to a well-educated workforce doing flexible, desk-based roles. Public transport barely features here. The rural setting means most people need a car to get to work.
