During the Colonial period most people were farmers but there were also craftsmen such as coopers, shoemakers, tailors, smiths (Paul Revere was a silver smith). There were also carpenters and masons. There were printers of course. There were professional men, doctors, lawyers, teachers. Shipbuilding was a major indistry which required scores of different kinds of skilled and unskilled laborors. Fishing was very important in New England. This is only a partial list. Michael Montagne
