Powys is the largest county in Wales by area, although only 11th by population (just 135,000), mainly because much of the area is mountainous. It is a landlocked county with a long border with England, meeting Shropshire and Herefordshire; it shares Welsh borders with Gwynedd, Denbighshire, Wrexham, Ceredigion, Carmarthenshire and Monmouthshire. Its administrative centre is in Llandrindod Wells, right in the centre, although it’s quite a small town, with only 5000 inhabitants. The largest town is Newtown (13,000), followed by Ystradgynlais (9,000) and Brecon (8000). Needless to say, the population comprises many, many small villages and towns.
Such low concentrations of population and alack of industrialisation mean that jobs are not in huge demand in Powys. The tourism industry can create some such jobs, but on the whole it is best to look for the towns and cities around the borders of Powys in Wales and England for a better chance of finding something.
