 As your fortress grows, so will your labor pool, and the way you assign that labor will change over time.  Typically at embark, you will have at least one Miner, a Wood cutter, Farmer, Carpenter, Mason/Stonecrafter, Cook/Brewer, Mechanic/Architect, one of which will also be a Broker/Appraiser.  There are multiple combinations but this is typical (see [[Embark]] and [[Starting build]]).  Early on, you will probably want to focus on fortress design and development, such that you will place priority on [[mining]] and [[masonry]], supplemented by [[carpentry]].
-In order to maximize the benefit of highly skilled labor, you will eventually want to specialize your labor, such that each dwarf has a very limited number of labors assigned. Keep in mind however, that some dwarves experience minor negative feelings at not being able to perform a craft or a martial art for too long.

 Hauling:  Nothing can bog down your production like the distraction of hauling jobs.  Losing your fort to a siege is [[fun]], but losing because all your skilled laborers spend all their time hauling stuff is no fun.  One solution is to use dedicated haulers.  The migrants who appear having no skilled labor, and whose attributes pretty much suck all around, aka [[peasant]]s, are best used as dedicated haulers.

 * A [[manager]] is incredibly useful for managing production jobs ([[workshop]] based). They can queue up a significant list of jobs without the need to select the various workshops, and place orders in bulk (or to be repeated).  That said, there are some caveats, the most important being that queued jobs must be done in the correct order of materials required, or the orders will auto cancel.  Also, you should not assign your manager to labors that are in high demand, as this will keep them from going to their [[office]] to place the orders.
 * [[Migrants|Migrating]] dwarves will typically arrive with certain work details already assigned. You will likely want to change these to put them to work in a way that best suits your fortress.
