Most of the jobs in the 1800's were the same as now, just with fewer people doing some and more doing others. A few new ones added to the mix since then. In the 1800s people worked in factories and made things, they were cooks and gardeners, doctors, lawyers, priests and pastors, carpenters, plumbers, ditch diggers, clerks, sailors, soldiers, scientists, barrel makers, ship builders, telegraph and telephone operators and electricians and many others. Most people, however, were farmers or ranchers.
In the 1800s, the majority of people worked either in factories or in farms. Physicians usually visited patients in their homes.
