Malpas, Newport: Jobs

Malpas is a working neighbourhood where most people are employed in retail, health, public administration, and education. Driving to work is how most people get there, though a growing number now work from home. Retail and wholesale is the biggest employer, with around 556 residents working in that sector. Health and social work comes close behind at 529, followed by public administration at 359 and education at 303. Construction and manufacturing each account for roughly 275 to 280 workers, showing a solid base of practical trades. Of the 3,367 employed residents, nearly 1,966 drive to work — that's almost 60%. Around 848 work mainly from home, which shows a real shift in how people are working. Just 78 use the bus, so public transport doesn't play a big role in daily working life here.
