Pharisees ranged from high to low class. Some worked as laborers, some had high positions such as president of the Sanhedrin. Rabbi Shamai, who was head of the Sanhedrin for a while in the early first century was also a carpenter (or some kind of builder). Others worked as merchants, taylors, shoemakers, tanners, or even common laborers. Generally, what gave Pharisees stature in the community was their learning and their ability to attract disciples.
