What do all the people do (for work) in rural area towns and unincorporated areas? - eviltoast

Drove hundreds of miles through some very rural New England, USA today. Most areas were very nice with well kept homes and cute, small city centers (mostly only a couple of brick, commercial buildings).

What do people do for jobs out in the “middle of nowhere”? As an engineer who works closer to city areas where more jobs exist, I just can’t fathom what people are doing for jobs out there? How is everything paid for?

Edit: I should clarify there’s minimal farm land out in rural New England. So, not very many farmers at all.
