What are some jobs I can get with a BS in economics?

Question

I want to move to a smaller community (under 50,000) and would like to see what is available for an economics major but everything I see as far as potential jobs from the career center are all research based positions in large cities. What are some real jobs for the average town? And how much could I expect to earn?

Answer 1

Check jobs with the city or county- I would do a search for "analyst." That covers a lot of positions that an econ major may be qualified for. A lot of positions that are analytical in nature will usually accept an econ degree. You could even get a job inf finance, assuming your program included a few finance classes...you would just need to play that up in your resume.
