Fundamentals of Economics
Economics is a vast field that offers many career paths to choose from. While many people think of economists as people who work for governments, there are many other areas of economics where you can work. In this lesson, we will explore some of the career paths in economics.
One of the most common career paths for economists is academia. If you have a passion for teaching and research, pursuing a Ph.D. in economics can lead to a career as a professor at a university. Professors teach economics courses, conduct research, and publish academic papers in journals.
Another career path in economics is government. Economists who work for the government can work for a variety of agencies, including the Federal Reserve, the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and the Department of the Treasury. These economists provide economic analysis and advice to policymakers and help shape economic policy.
Economists can also work in the private sector. Many large corporations, consulting firms, and financial institutions employ economists to provide economic analysis and forecasting. Economists in the private sector may work in areas such as market research, financial analysis, or risk management.
Finally, economists can also work for non-profit organizations. Non-profit organizations such as think tanks, charities, and foundations may employ economists to conduct research and provide economic analysis to support their missions.
