Salisbury St Paul's, Wiltshire: Jobs
Jobs
Health and social care is the neighbourhood's biggest employer, with 598 residents working in the sector. Retail and wholesale comes next with 502 jobs, followed by public administration and defence at 328 — reflecting Salisbury's role as a regional centre.
Construction, manufacturing, and professional services each employ between 150 and 200 people, creating a reasonably mixed economy.
What's interesting is how people actually work here. Nearly 800 residents work mainly from home, and another 583 walk to work. That's more than 1 in 4 of the neighbourhood working locally or from their front room. While 1,179 people do commute by car, the high rates of home working and walking suggest many jobs are genuinely local. It all adds up to a notably local feel.
