Cuxton, Halling & Riverside, Medway: Jobs
Jobs
Construction is the biggest employer here, accounting for around 15% of all working residents. Retail and wholesale trade comes a close second, with health and social work, education, and public administration also providing plenty of jobs.
Most people drive to work — over half of residents commute by car, which suggests jobs aren't typically within easy walking or cycling distance. But working from home is increasingly common. Nearly 30% of residents worked remotely at the time of the 2021 Census, a significant shift for a largely rural and suburban neighbourhood.
