In all sectors of traditional Amish life, various forms of farming have been at the center of their working lives. However, within the last hundred years, it has been reported that more and more Amish have become involved in business enterprises. These business enterprises have notably been in carpentry among other craftsman-like businesses, as well as selling farm products. Additionally, they have been known to form constriction crews to build houses for non-Amish. Most recently they have even been known to work in factories.
