Headstone, Harrow: Jobs
Jobs
Headstone's job market is shaped by health, retail, and professional services. What's really striking is how many people work from home — it's become the norm here, reflecting a bigger shift in how locals earn their living.
Health and social work is the largest employer, taking up around 14% of working residents. Retail and wholesale comes next, with education, information and technology, and professional services close behind. Construction also plays a significant role.
Working from home is now the most common arrangement — 3,201 out of 7,508 workers do it. For those commuting in, driving is the go-to option, while just over 800 residents use the Tube.
This is a neighbourhood dominated by white-collar and public sector jobs, where remote working has firmly taken root.
