Good question. The area is very similar to Scandinavia and they were mostly farmers and dairymen and loggers. They adapted very well to the new country.

Very similar...in all ways, Sarah M., and more of it. And it was open to settlers. The tough and adventurous could make their way here better than in their crowded old cuntries. And the "younger son syndrome" was a big factor. At home, a young man was destined to just be an employee of his older brother, who would inherit the family land or business. In the "new country" he was free to make his own life.
