Tyldesley, Blackpool: Jobs

Health and social work is the biggest employer in Tyldesley, followed by retail and hospitality. This means the neighbourhood's workforce is built on everyday services rather than office-based industries. About 1 in 4 residents works in health, social care, or retail. Construction is also strong here — it employs more people than you'd typically expect in a town this size. Most people drive to work, with over 40% using a car or van. But a notable share walk to their jobs, which shows there's local employment within easy reach. Around 16% of workers now do their jobs from home. That's a real change, though Tyldesley is still a place where most people head out to work each day.
