St Ann's, Swale: Jobs

St Ann's has a workforce that's heavily car-dependent, though working from home has become a major part of how people here earn a living now. Retail and wholesale is the biggest employer, followed by health and social work, education, and construction. These four sectors make up more than half of all jobs held by residents. Nearly half of workers commute by car, making it the most common way to get to work. But working from home is now the second most popular option — around 30% of workers do this, a significant change from before the pandemic. A good number of residents walk to work, which suggests plenty of people work locally. Train use is modest, showing that most people don't rely on commuting into London.
