Actually, it is not clear if she works or not.  For all we know, she 
might have a streamline in enchanted mince pies or love potions.  
Maybe Rowling doesn't mention her work because it is not important 
for  the story... in the same way the information about female 
Quidditch players isn't ;)

Kneasy, Susan and Joan, thank you for your posts!  You put into words 
the thoughts which I also have had during the months (years!) of 
lurking on this board.
