St John's, Woking: Jobs
Jobs
St John's has a diverse employment base. Retail, health, education, and professional services are the biggest employers here. What really stands out is that nearly half of residents work from home — over 2,100 people, around 43% of the neighbourhood.
Retail and wholesale is the largest sector, with health and social work, education, and professional services close behind. Construction also employs a significant number of people. You get a real mix here — some jobs are rooted locally, while others are office-based careers that people do from home.
When residents do commute, driving is the most common way to get around. A similar number drive as work from home. Train use is relatively modest, so most people here aren't relying on rail links for their daily commute.
