      @rarity AJ handles the farm, Rarity sells dresses, Pinkie works at the bakery, RD is in charge of ponyville weather, Fluttershy works mostly ad honorem and Twilight is a student, so that makes 4 characters with a job and two basically unemployed. Then again Twilight became royalty so she has an state job now.

        @nerthos Twilight owns the library that nobody goes to.

        @nerthos Actually, you're incorrect. Fluttershy is unemployed, but Twilight owns a bookstore.

          @clayinthecarpet She doesn't sell books, it's a library, and as far as I know it's public.

            @nerthos Oooh. Maybe I'm just thinking of all the fanfics I've read, then. XD

              @clayinthecarpet Bookstores usually sell paper, ink and other writing stuff, and in a couple episodes she goes out/sends spike to buy those things.

                @nerthos Good point. I concede my previous argument, then.

                @nerthos I always assumed she just needed those because she makes so many damn lists all the time.

                  @redenchilada Yeah, but if she had a bookstore she would have lots of those as a merchandise.

                    @nerthos I mean, it definitely makes sense that she could be selling them too. Maybe.

                      @redenchilada In that case she'd buy bulk to have a profit, instead of things like "4 parchments and two quills"

        @critialcloudkicker @nerthos I was counting RD, Flutters and Twilight as unemployed. They do things but I wouldn't consider them jobs (although I agree about the princess thing)

          @rarity "Weather team" isn't a job?

            @redenchilada They haven't really elaborated on her role enough for me to consider it one

              @rarity She had money in her hands in this one episode so they probably pay her

              @rarity Just because her job is auxiliary to her in-show character role enough to not be mentioned doesn't mean she's unemployed, though.

                @redenchilada Me being wrong is always a possibility. But I always saw it more as a racial obligation thing

                  @rarity Considering she's assigned as a leader of the weatherponies and not just a member*, it's definitely above what racial obligations would be and to the point of actual, even government-assigned work.

                  *(see: the first episode, where she's the one Twilight discusses the weather with; Winter Wrap Up, where she's leading the weatherponies for the wrap up; Hurricane Fluttershy, where she's the one who manages the tornado team)

          @rarity Since Equestria has no natural weather, what RD does is an actual job there. She has to make sure events have the correct weather, keep farmland irrigated, and a bunch of other stuff.

            @nerthos She just gives the illusion of doing nothing all day because she's really fast at her job and due to the nature of it, as long as things are fine she doesn't need to do anything.
