Ware St Mary's, East Hertfordshire: Jobs
Jobs
Ware St Mary's has a solid mix of jobs across different sectors. Retail and wholesale employ the most people, with education and health and social work close behind. Manufacturing and construction also play a big part, giving the neighbourhood a practical, mixed economy.
Most residents drive to work, but working from home is now the second most common arrangement — 1,745 people do this. Train use is relatively low, which suggests most jobs are local or easy to reach by car rather than London-focused commutes.
Professional and financial services are growing here, pointing to a gradual shift towards knowledge-based work.
