Career Opportunities in Economics

Employment of economists is expected to grow steadily during the first decade of this century. The best opportunities should be in private industry – especially in research, testing and consulting firms – as more companies contrast out for economic research services. The growing complexity of the global economy, combined with competition and increased reliance on economic analysis, should further spur the demand for economists.

The range of career options is wide. Students graduating with a Bachelor of Science in Economics find positions in every sector of our economy as economists, researchers, financial analysts, equity analysts in the profit and not-for-profit sectors, with international organizations and governmental agencies. Graduates may continue their education at the graduate level in preparation for a career in higher education.
