Kursaal, Southend-on-Sea: Jobs

Health and social work is the biggest employer in Kursaal, followed by retail, construction, and finance. It's a mix that shows a working community with roots in both local services and trade. About 1 in 4 residents work mainly from home — a real shift from how things used to be. Driving is still the most common way to get to work, used by well over a third of workers. Walking comes second, which tells you many jobs are within reach locally. Manufacturing and transport also employ a solid share of residents, while professional and technical roles are smaller. You've got a broad employment base here, which means the neighbourhood tends to weather economic shifts in any single sector better than most.
