Why? I use DT to check the happiness and skill level of my dwarves but the normal UI to actually change their jobs etc. Why? For example, I have one 'specialised' dwarf for important jobs like weaponsmith, armorsmith, engraver, brewer, surgeon, carpenter, mason etc. These have their own workshops and are pretty much working 24/7. It's also the only thing they are allowed to do. For the rest, I have a bunch of dwarves who have ALL farming allowed, ALL hauling, masonry (for rapidly getting a wall built) etc. My fortress works perfectly this way and there is near 0 unoccupation in a 120 dwarves fortress.
