Netherpool, Cheshire West and Chester: Jobs
Jobs
Netherpool's job market is built on retail, health, construction, and manufacturing. Over 1 in 5 residents work from home now — a shift that's happened since the pandemic changed how people work.
Retail and wholesale is the biggest employer, taking up around 18% of jobs. Health and social work comes second, with construction and manufacturing close behind. These sectors give the neighbourhood a practical, hands-on feel.
You'll also find professional and public sector roles here — education, public administration, and technical services add a white-collar element to the mix.
Most people drive to work. Cars dominate the commute, though a notable number now work from home full-time. Walking and cycling happen, but not on a large scale. Public transport use is low, which reflects how car-dependent the neighbourhood is.
