Career Opportunities for Economics Majors
A major in economics prepares you for a wide range of professional careers. It is attractive to job recruiters and graduate school admissions directors because of the excellent background it provides in critical thinking and quantitative analysis. Because an economics major is more general and less vocational than a major such as accounting, the question students often ask is: What types of jobs are open to economics majors?

Managerial training programs in many firms, including banks, other financial institutions, and large manufacturing companies, are open to economics majors. There are many opportunities for employment in government at the local, state and federal levels. Research and consulting firms also employ economists in such areas as forecasting and industry analysis. Many economics majors continue their education in order to pursue careers in law, academic economics, public policy or business.
