St Michael's, Castle Point: Jobs
Jobs
St Michael's has a diverse job market. Construction is the biggest employer, with around 14% of working residents in the trade. Retail, health and social work come close behind, and financial services and education also employ significant numbers. You'll find a good mix of skilled and professional roles across the neighbourhood.
What really stands out here is how many people work from home. Over a third of residents work remotely — well above the national average. That suggests a growing professional workforce and likely means demand for local amenities spreads across the whole week rather than just peak times.
Most people who do commute drive. Train use is modest, which reflects how car-dependent the area is.
