Peasedown, Bath and North East Somerset: Jobs
Jobs
Peasedown's economy runs on health, retail, and construction. Nearly a third of residents now work from home — a shift that's changing how the neighbourhood works day to day. The village is car-dependent, and that's unlikely to change soon.
Health and social work is the biggest employer, taking up around 17% of local jobs. Retail comes next, followed by construction and education. These four sectors alone cover more than half of all work in the neighbourhood.
Working from home has taken off here. Over 29% of residents work mainly from home, which is significant for a rural area.
If you do commute, you'll almost certainly drive. Over 54% of people drive to work, and public transport use is minimal — the village's limited connections mean the car is really your only option.
