Overview
Economists study how scarce resources can be efficiently allocated to produce the maximum
number of goods and services. Economists conduct research, collect and analyze data, monitor
economic trends, and develop forecasts. They apply economic theory to endeavors such as
banking, finance, manufacturing, education, law, international trade, labor, insurance,
agriculture, health, criminal justice, energy, natural resources, and telecommunications.
The field of economics provides a framework for analyzing and solving problems that arise from
scarcity. Public issuesinflation, unemployment, budget deficits, and environmental pollution, for
exampleas well as individual and business decision-making, are examples of the economist's
work.

Career Opportunities
Given the analytical nature and diversity of the discipline, economics provides a solid background
for many jobs and professions. The study of economics also offers excellent preparation for
advanced education in business, law, economics, finance, public policy, international relations,
and medicine.
Economists work in government, business, and education.
Government economists monitor and assess economic conditions and provide economic
analysis to guide governmental programs and policies.
Business economists provide the analysis required to make optimal decisions in all major
aspects of business activity.
Academic economists, in addition to teaching conduct research and may act as

consultants to business and government agencies.
A bachelor's degree in economics is sufficient for many entry-level research, administrative,

consulting and management trainee jobs. However, to work as an "economist" one generally has
to have an advanced degree. Candidates for a graduate degree in economics should have a
strong mathematics background with courses in differential, integral, and vector calculus, linear
algebra, differential equations, statistics and econometrics. Graduate training is required for
some positions and for more rapid advancement.
Since Finance is a sub field of Economics, examples of careers and job descriptions include:
Financial Planner
Financial planners advise clients on financial matters ranging from personal budgeting to
investment strategies. They often give recommendations on tax planning, estate design, wills,
stock portfolios, life insurance and real estate holdings. Financial planners earn income by
charging a fee to clients and earning a commission from products. A common career path
involves working for financial institutions (banks, insurance, securities brokerages) at the entry
level, and receiving training in both sales and financial products.
A high percentage of financial planners are independent practitioners or partners in a small firm.
The designation of CFP, Certified Financial Planner enhances the professional recognition and
lends credibility to the planner. Additionally certain licenses (for example, series 7) must be
acquired when trading in securities or commodities.
The job requires initiative, ability to market clients, strong interpersonal skills, analytical ability,
effective communications and persistence.
Analyst
A security analyst is a researcher involved with portfolio management and the analysis of bonds,
stocks and other forms of investment. The largest employers of security analysts are the large
brokerage houses, often located in New York. A security analyst is often assigned one type of
industry to research and prepare reports. The entry level analyst is generally an assistant who
prepares financial reports for internal use or for clients' needs, and not for the general public's
knowledge. Most security and investment analysts prefer to remain in their profession doing
analytical work, but some do leave to move into bank lending and security sales positions or to
manage departments of analysts.
Other titles for security analysts are portfolio manager, director of research, trust administrator,
account manager and broker. Typical promotions are from junior analyst to senior to consultant.
Sources of employment include investment counseling firms, mutual funds organizations,
insurance companies, banks, brokerage houses and research firms.
Security Sales and Trading
A security salesperson is one who buys or sells stocks, bonds, or shares of mutual funds for an
investor. They are often called customer brokers, registered representative or account
executives. Before they can qualify as a registered representative, they must pass the Security
and Exchange Commission's general security examination. Courses in finance and investment
subjects are usually helpful in securing employment. Once a salesperson has completed training
and licensing requirements, earnings are usually in the form of commissions from sales of
securities.
Successful security sales people enjoy their work and earn substantial commissions. They can
move into management positions, such as branch manager, but most prefer to remain in sales.
The reason for the lack of interest in advancing into management positions relates to the higher
earnings potential in sales and the sheer excitement of the business. Most work with high net
worth individuals.
Brokerage houses regularly close or merge. Experienced security salespeople find themselves
changing employers occasionally but there is little negative impact on their earnings.
Insurance
The insurance business is a major part of the financial planning program so the industry needs a
variety of experts in this area. Three types of employment in the industry are underwriters,
claims, and sales.
Underwriters appraise and select risks their company will insure. They analyze information in
insurance applications, reports from loss control consultants, medical reports, and actuarial
studies which describe the probability of insured loss. Underwriters assume great responsibility
because their company may lose business to competition if they appraise risk too conservatively,
and their company will have to pay too many future claims if their decisions are too liberal.
Underwriters outline the terms of the contracts, including premium amounts. Most underwriters
specialize in one of the four major categories of insurance: Life, Property Damage, Personal
Liability, Health.
Claims representatives investigate claims, negotiate settlements with policyholders, and
authorize payments.
Insurance agents sell policies that protect individuals and businesses against future losses and
financial pressures. They may be either an employee of an insurance company or an independent
agent who represents several companies. Beginning agents are usually paid a salary. After that
time they are paid strictly on commissions.

Employment Outlook
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the demand for economists should grow by 7.5%
from 2006 - 2016. Prospects improve for bachelor's degree recipients in economics who go on to
earn advanced degrees - law or MBA, or Ph.D. in economics, for example. If you are planning to
pursue an advanced degree in economics, it is recommended that you take as much advanced
math as possible.
