Bôn-y-maen, Swansea: Jobs

Bôn-y-maen's job market is built on retail, health, and public services. Most people drive to work, and nearly 1 in 5 residents now work from home. Retail and wholesale is the biggest employer, followed by health and social work, then public administration. Construction and education also provide plenty of jobs locally. Manufacturing still exists but it's not a major employer. Working from home has really taken off — around 19% of residents do it as their main arrangement. That's a real shift in how people work. Driving dominates though, with over 60% of people using a car or van to commute. Walking accounts for around 6% of commutes, which shows many jobs are close enough to reach on foot. Professional and financial roles are here, but they're not what drives the neighbourhood's economy.
