Joseph was a carpenter, and sons usually carried on their father's work. Other than that, when Jesus first began His ministry, the crowds didn't love Him. They said, "WHAT!? This CARPENTER is telling ME how to live? We know Him and His mother and family, He's no one special." Or so they thought. God bless!
Mark 6:3
"Where did this man get these things?" they asked. "What's this wisdom that has been given him, that he even does miracles! Isn't this the carpenter? Isn't this Mary's son and the brother of James, Joseph, Judas and Simon? Aren't his sisters here with us?" And they took offense at him.

Matthew 13:53-57
"And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these parables, he departed thence.
And when he was come into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished, and said, Whence hath this man this wisdom, and these mighty works?
Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas?
And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath this man all these things?
And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, except in his own country, and in his own house."

Being a carpenter he performed one of his miracles. He turned pieces of wood into chairs.

His father Joseph was a Carpenter, and it is assumed that children followed their father's occupations in that era.

Paradise has the most correct answer. While nhbaritone is also correct, Paradise has the actual chapter and verse.
