The role of an Economist is to address, solve, and prevent financial problems to ensure businesses and the overall global economy run smoothly. Using their skills and advanced knowledge of economic matters, these professionals collect, analyze, and interpret statistical data, presenting their findings to business executives or governmental authorities.   
    
Economists are often risk-averse, hired to predict a particular outcome using various models and simulations of their creation. They must understand the implications and effects of social and natural events on businesses and their economic activities. Many Economists work as Financial Advisors thanks to their deep understanding of the complex aspects that move and affect the global economy. They are qualified to provide recommendations and advice to their employers and clients on commercial trade, investments, and the strategic planning of businesses. 
  
While this may seem like a lot to do, at the end of the day, a large part of the Economist’s Day is spent with customers, colleagues, and prospects, answering questions about the economy and what drives it.
  
A majority of Economists work on the standard 9-5 office hours. Nevertheless, it is not uncommon for them to work extra hours, specifically in the morning whenever a unique project or deadline arises.  

Personalty of an Economist

• They are perceptive  

Economists are incredibly insightful. They are often highly educated and continue to improve their education as the world, and its economies, morph and change from one year to the next. It’s their goal to see and predict events (including lulls and spikes) before they happen.   
   

• They are analytical  

Economists regularly use logical reasoning when compiling their findings and thoughts into digestible information for those often less understanding of the economy. They look for patterns and frequently interpret results from model simulations they run to help them make informed decisions when advising clients and colleagues.   
   

• They are observant   

Economists are detail-oriented. They focus on several topics simultaneously and are expected to retain the knowledge of many variables. However, as we say this, economists are also big-picture thinkers. They understand the ever-changing nature and complexity of their job and hold that every prediction they make is tried and tested before reaching the ears of their employers.
