Introduction
Economics is a social science concerned with the factors that determine the production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services.
Basically what economists do is analyze how people create goods and services by allocating limited resources like raw materials, land, technology, and labor. They do this by researching and monitoring things like exchange rates, business trends, taxation, employment rates, inflation, and costs of materials. They then try to find trends and develop predictions based on the data.
If you enjoy researching and analyzing economic issues and their related data using math and statistic?
If you enjoy making forecasts, designing policies and advising others through reports and presentations?
Then working as an economist might be an ideal career choice for you.
