Historically, Northampton was a leading manufacturer of leather and shoes, with around a third of the adult population working as shoemakers in the 1800s. Today, the town has become a significant centre for finance and distribution.

That means it's a good location if you're looking for a career in accounting or finance. There tends to be a lot of driving and warehouse opportunities in the town as well. Northampton is also home to the first Carlsberg brewery to open outside Denmark.

There are also often openings for roles in healthcare and education, thanks to the University of Northampton and the St Andrew's Healthcare charity.

Salary wise, Northampton's average is around £24,000, although this does depend on the job and sector.  Managers and engineers can easily reach £30,000 here. It's important to note that while the average salary is lower, so are living costs compared to most major cities.
