Oadby St Peter's, Oadby and Wigston: Jobs

Most people in Oadby St Peter's drive to work, with nearly a third working from home instead. Retail and wholesale is the biggest employer here, followed closely by health and social work, then education. These 3 sectors together make up around half of all jobs in the neighbourhood. You'll also find a solid chunk of manufacturing and construction work, so there's a real mix of office-based and trade jobs among residents. Working from home is pretty common — 557 out of 1,842 workers do it, which comes to around 30%. That's notably high. Driving is still how most people get to work, but walking's the next most popular option, which makes sense given the neighbourhood's suburban feel.
