since were doing age. might as well think about what they do for work. i always thought rumsfield owned an army navy store. carol and bonnie are stay at home wives/moms. and art is some sort of teacher. ray does some sort of stressful office job.
 
Rumsfield = Arms dealer and war vet.
Bonnie = Desperate housewife

Ray= Accountant
Carol = Administrator

Art = Teacher
Suzette = Teacher

 
Mark Rumsfield: Former member of the U.S. Army, now retired

Bonnie Rumsfield: Former Las Vegas Showgirl, Mark and Bonnie met in Las Vegas and Rummy decided to take her outta there

Ray Peterson: Accountant at PricewaterhouseCoopers

Carol Peterson: working part-time as an interior decorator

Art Weingartner: Former electrical engineer, after inheriting a fortune from his rich uncle he quit his job and now spends his time snooping around in the neighbourhood

Suzette Weingartner: pediatric nurse
 
I think Art works for the phone company. The scene where Art cuts the power line; his shirt says something about a phone company (if I recall correctly).
 
i really think art is a teacher. thats why no one seems to have a problem that he is off. i think the outfit he wears when cutting the power lines was just some special get up he put together to cut the powerline. just like his other getups throughout the movie.
 
What do you think Art taught? Electrical engineering? Physical education? Probably can rule those two out...

*slaps Ray P on the shoulder* great answer!
 
I just found an old word-document on my hard drive which features my thoughts about their jobs so I'm going to post it here:

What are they doing for a living?

Art:

After his parents passed away he inherited their house. That’s why he’s able to recall what Hinkley Hills was like a long time ago, because he never moved. After inheriting a lot of money from his wealthy uncle in Texas he decided to quit his job as a grocery store manager a now enjoys the sunny days in Hinkley Hills.

Suzette:

Don’t ask me WHY I think so, but she’s a paediatric nurse.

Ray:

He works at a bank or an insurance company or something similar. He might also be one of these PricewaterhouseCoopers / Ernst & Young / KPMG guys where you occasionally have to take a week off in order to preserve your sanity (believe me, I know, what I’m talking about). He wouldn’t say he loves his job but being the dutiful person he is, he gets his job done very well.

Carol:

She’s a secretary. It’s a part-time job. She’s probably working at the same company Ray does.

Mark:

He was indeed in Vietnam from 1966 to 1967 but conceals that he was a typist. Because of his jumpy manner (trembling when the nightly Vietnamese thunderstorms came / falling of the roofs in the camp and so on) he wasn’t highly respected albeit quite popular among the other soldiers. In 1987 he retired early due to his traumatic experiences in the bush. Afterwards he established a predilection for all the military gadgets he was never able to play with when he was still in the army since his only gadget was the typewriter. Only receives a small pension.

Bonnie:

A former Las Vegas showgirl. Well known for her ravishing performances. Very often performed for Dean Martin with whom she had been engaged for a short period. Dean paid her very well for pleasing him in the early 80’s. Most of the Rumsfield’s assets consist of the money she earned in that period.

Ricky:

Finished his last year at High School and intends to start attending the college in fall ’89 (Art and Art History). His parents wanted him to look for a job for the summer but by promising them to paint the house while they’re on vacation he was able to prevent this.

Walter:

Former landscape gardener. Married with Lucille Ball until she passed away in 1989. Afterwards moving from Beverly Hills to Hinkley Hills.

Dave:

Attending Hinkley Hills middle school. He’s the best pupil in the class but still no nerd. Plans to study astronomy one day since he enjoys sitting on the roof and watching the stars with his telescope on a warm summer night.

I'm sticking with phone company. He's probably off because he's on disability because he's obviously incompitant. *crunch* maybe...
