Pembroke Dock: Bufferland, Pembrokeshire: Jobs
Jobs
Most people here work in retail, health, construction, and public services. The car is how nearly everyone gets to work — that's just the reality of living in a rural area with limited public transport.
Retail and wholesale is the biggest employer, with 104 residents working there. Health and social work is close behind at 101. Construction's also significant at 78, showing there's steady demand for trades locally.
Public administration and defence accounts for 54 workers, which makes sense given Pembroke Dock's military history and the ongoing MOD presence in the region.
Around 85 people work mainly from home. But the vast majority — 487 — drive to work. Just 4 use the bus, which really shows how car-dependent life is here.
