Economist

 
Background
Economists study how people, businesses, and governments make decisions about money, resources, and trade. They analyse data and trends to understand why prices change, how jobs are created, and what affects the economy. Economists might work for governments, banks, universities, or large companies, helping leaders make better financial decisions.
