Overview

You may not realize it, but you already use economics every day. When you decide if it is time to study or go to bed, spend your money or save it—you are using economics.

Economics is the study of how individuals and societies choose to utilize the resources available to them. On a larger scale, economics includes the study of labor, goods and services, investments, taxes, and government spending.

What makes being an economist exciting is the opportunity to work in so many different fields. The analytical skills economics majors possess are valued in everything from small business and prestigious financial institutions to international non-profits, or even food science and product development.

Still more economics graduates go into roles in state and federal government, collecting data and analyzing policy. Whether you choose to forecast trends or work as a consultant for a major investment firm, economists are everywhere.
