Answer:

Traders, fisher, dock men, lumberjack,hunters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Actually, in the New England colonies, the soil was rocky and was not as fertile as it was in the Southern colonies, which was suitabe for tobacco and rice plantations. As a result, English settlers had to resort mostly to whaling, fishing, lumbering, hunting and trading, especially lumber and fur. In fact, they exported lumber to England, which needed the wood.
