Whaplode and Holbeach St John's, South Holland: Jobs
Jobs
This rural Lincolnshire neighbourhood is built around retail, manufacturing, construction, and health work. Most residents drive to their jobs, and a notable share work from home.
Retail and wholesale is the biggest employer, accounting for around 1 in 5 jobs. Manufacturing comes next, followed by health and social work, then construction. Agriculture employs a smaller but still meaningful share, reflecting the area's rural character.
Working from home is significant here. Around 27% of workers do so — a high figure for a rural neighbourhood and a sign of a growing remote-working population.
Car use is almost universal for commuting. Public transport barely features, so you'll effectively need access to a vehicle to get to work.
