Hardwick, South Cambridgeshire: Jobs
Jobs
Hardwick's workforce is heavily focused on education, health, and professional services. Nearly half of residents work from home or commute by car, which tells you something about the neighbourhood — it's full of well-qualified people in office-based jobs.
Education is the biggest employer here, accounting for around 22% of working residents. Health and social work comes a close second, along with professional and scientific roles. These three sectors together make up roughly half of all employment in the neighbourhood.
Working from home is really common in Hardwick. Over 42% of workers do it, which is well above the national average. That's likely because so many jobs here are knowledge-based.
For those who do commute out, most drive. Cycling is a smaller but noticeable option, suggesting some residents work locally or in nearby Cambridge.
