Splott, Cardiff: Jobs

Splott's job market is dominated by health, retail, and public services. What's really changed things is working from home — nearly a third of residents now do it, and it's reshaping how the neighbourhood works day to day. Health and social work is the biggest employer, taking up around 1 in 6 jobs. Retail and wholesale comes second, then education and public administration. These three sectors are what keep local employment going. Working from home has grown significantly. Around 31% of workers are now based at home, which is a real shift from how things were before the pandemic. For people who do commute, driving is still the most popular option. But walking and cycling are both common too, thanks to Splott being close to central Cardiff.
