Rainworth South & Blidworth, Newark and Sherwood: Jobs

Most people here work in health, retail, construction, or manufacturing. They tend to drive to work — it's a neighbourhood shaped by practical, hands-on industries rather than office-based careers. Health and social work is the biggest employer, with 493 residents working in the sector. Retail comes close behind with 477. Construction and manufacturing are also significant, employing 304 and 290 people respectively. Education accounts for 252 jobs. Working from home is more common than you might expect — 527 people, nearly 1 in 5 workers, do so. But driving is still how most people get to work, with 1,878 residents commuting by car or van. Public transport use is low, so having a car really matters here.
