Brantham, Babergh: Jobs

Brantham's job market is dominated by retail, health, construction, and education. What's striking is that over 1 in 3 residents work from home — a real shift in how people here approach their working lives. Retail and wholesale is the biggest employer, with health and social work, construction, and education close behind. These 4 sectors alone make up nearly half of all jobs in the neighbourhood. Manufacturing and professional services also play a solid role. Working from home is actually the most common arrangement — 415 out of 1,280 workers do it. When people do commute, they mostly drive, with 721 residents using a car or van. Walking and cycling happen too, though less often, which fits with Brantham's rural feel.
