St Peter's Parish, Worcester: Jobs

St Peter's Parish has over 3,100 residents in work, with retail, health, and education leading the way. Since the pandemic, there's been a real shift towards home working. Wholesale and retail trade is the biggest employer, making up around 1 in 6 jobs. Health and social work comes a close second, followed by education. These three sectors together account for nearly half of all employment in the neighbourhood. Manufacturing and public administration also play a significant role, so you'll find a good mix of office-based and hands-on work here. A third of residents now work mainly from home — that's quite striking. Most others drive to work, with walking being the next most popular option. This shows how many jobs in the neighbourhood are still locally based.
