Walton, Tendring: Jobs
Jobs
Health and social care is Walton's biggest employer, accounting for around 19% of working residents. Retail and wholesale trade comes second, followed by construction and education.
Most residents drive to work, though working from home has really taken off here. Nearly 1 in 4 people now work mainly at home — a significant shift for a coastal neighbourhood. Walking is the second most common commute method, which shows that some residents do find work locally. Train use is low, suggesting most jobs aren't London-facing.
