"All",

...except slave and slaver.
(What's wrong with you - the SEM is a no-slave zone!)

Including dog hairstylist, sandwich maker, and phone disinfector.

PS - ...and "Maybe trader"? In the largest mercantile entity in human space? I think you can drop the maybe.

PPS - ...and "sexual predator"? A "job"? Really?

Almost any job that exists today probably has some equivalent in the Honorverse, although some (such as housecleaner or hotel clerk) probably only exist for high-end clientele.

If you really want to know others that we have textev for, then:

secretary

merchant
mechanic
barkeeper
public relations
financial officer
waiter
cook

And these are the ones I remember with just a couple minutes thought.

Slave only exists in the SEM as a common former job but what about a taxi driver? Window washer? Oldest job? Roughneck? Cling film maker? (I had a friend who did that) Elevator attendant? Dog walker? Presumably there are dogs? Teacher? One wonders if technology will replace these jobs. Window washer on a 600 story building can you imagine? Parachute instructor?

One could imagine the auto pilot of an aircar would kill the taxi. The window washer becomes a modern robotic washing drone. The new improved Roomba dusts and cleans no more house cleaners / maids. Do we still have street sweepers or people who pick up garbage. (Having been to Georgia, I must admit people don't pick up their garbage. Around here we have people go out mostly volunteers and pick up the spring cleaning garbage)

There will be a few jobs that will be fundamentally unchanged from what we know today, some that will have the same title but be completely unrecognizable, others that will have gone extinct. Speculating about which falls into which category is usually not going to come even close to what's actually going to happen.

We know they have taxi drivers.
Remember Honor's flag Lt? The young man who ended up
redecorating her flag bridge in that color decorators call
BGBB.

Sexual predator certainly is a paying job. But the job title is 'Priest'.

We also know there are members of the oldest profession, since Honor's mother talked about wanting to hire one for her.

There are people who work driving vehicles for other people--effectively cab drivers or chauffeurs.

Window washers, I imagine there are people who manage the machines who do that and are called window washers. There will be lots of jobs like that.
