Jobs
Honiton St Michael's has a diverse employment base. Retail leads the way, followed by health and construction. Nearly 1 in 5 residents work from home, while most others drive to work.
Retail and wholesale is the biggest employer, accounting for around 19% of working residents. Health and social work comes second at 16%, then construction at 10% and education at 8%. These four sectors together make up more than half of all employment in the neighbourhood.
Driving is how most people get to work — 58% of workers commute by car. But home working is a significant part of the picture too. Around 20% of residents work mainly from home, which has changed how people use the town throughout the day. Public transport use is low, which you'd expect in a rural Devon market town.
