Blaby, Blaby: Jobs

Most people in Blaby work in retail, health, construction, and education — practical sectors that keep the neighbourhood ticking rather than corporate ones. Retail and wholesale is the biggest employer, with health and social work close behind, then construction and education. These 4 sectors alone make up more than half of all jobs. Manufacturing rounds things out, showing there's a real mix of hands-on and service work here. Working from home is really common — about 1 in 4 residents did this at the 2021 census. If you do commute, you'll drive. Public transport barely features, which tells you this neighbourhood is built for car owners.
