From this, Economists seek to understand, assess and explain the mechanisms of markets and economics to increase efficiency and productivity.
Economists have varied employment opportunities in public and private sectors. For example, they can look at how economic welfare, financial markets and government impact income and wealth creation; release economic performance indicators such as the Gross Domestic Product (GDP); or forecast to determine bank interest rate levels.
This field of study is suited for students who have strong mathematical skills or enjoy mathematics as it involves quantitative studies and analysing and interpreting data to find solutions for the commercial world.
