Employment Picture:
Employment of economists is expected to grow 3 to 9% from 2010 to 2020. Demand for economicanalysis should grow, but the increase in the number of economist jobs will be tempered as firmshire workers for more specialized jobs with specialized titles. Many workers with economicbackgrounds will work in related occupations with more specific job titles, such as financial analyst,market analyst, public policy consultant, researcher or research assistant, and purchasing manager.Overall employment growth also will be slowed because of the relatively high number of economists
employed in slow growing or declining government sectors. Employment in Federal governmentagencies is expected to decrease, and employment in State and local government is expected togrow more slowly than employment in the private sector.
Employment growth should be fastest in private industry, especially in management, scientific, andtechnical consulting services. Rising demand for economic analysis in virtually every industry shouldstem from the growing complexity of the global economy, the effects of competition on businesses,and increased reliance on quantitative methods for analyzing and forecasting business, sales, andother economic trends. Some corporations choose to hire economic consultants to fill these needs,rather than keeping an economist on staff. This practice should result in more economists beingemployed in consulting services.
