38.0% of employee jobs (2024) in Newcastle upon Tyne sit in the premises-led sectors: hotels, restaurants and food service (9.0%), wholesale, retail and motor trades (9.0%) and health and social care (20.0%). Great Britain: 35.7% (Nomis labour market profile: Newcastle upon Tyne).
| Sector | Newcastle share | Newcastle jobs | Great Britain | Ratio |
|---|---|---|---|---|

Common questions
Does an NE postcode change commercial mortgages terms?
Not in our panel data: 10 commercial mortgage providers, none of which exclude NE. Providers look at the building, its valuation and the trading business that will repay.
