Personally, I think they handle the bulk of garment making and scientific jobs, jobs that take a lot more dexterity than hooves, mouths, or wings to accomplish (well, in most cases), that often need the dexterity of hands (which most creatures in Equestria, being ponies, after all, don't seem to have). With their ability to consciously manipulate magic (unlike the unconscious manipulation of the other two races), that certainly gives unicorns a large advantage there.
