Why is Jesus occupation listed as a carpenter when there where clearly no use for carpenters in his time as there were very few trees for lumber for that type of work?

There certainly was work for carpenters and Galileans did use wood in a variety of ways, although whether a small rural village such as Nazareth could have supported a carpenter is a moot point.
A plausible explanation is provided by Dennis R. MacDonald (The Homeric Epics and the Gospel of Mark), who believes that the original gospel (Mark) was actually based on the Iliad and Odyssey, and compares Jesus in many ways with Homer's Odysseus. Odysseus was proud of his skills as a carpenter. Jesus was a carpenter.

Was there a occupation called smoother in Ireland?
There was an occupation called Smoother. I am unsure what it related too though but find attached a census report from 1911 for Belfast in which the head of household was listed as having an occupation of "Smoother". There were a lot of linen mills and factories in Belfast at this time and I would hazard a guess that it was a process in that manufacturing process. http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/reels/nai001460568/
