Questions & Answers

What are some other good websites to look at careers besides the occupational outlook handbook on BL
It should be a website that has a large variety of different careers and talks about the nature of work, education and training, requirements, employment and earnings etc in detail. I'm not looking for a website that has a list of job oppurtunities. Just one with a description of the field.

Not sure. Really sorry. Try wikipedia.com or ezinearticles. ...you will surely find the answer.



According to the Occupational Outlook Handbook, what do economists study and do?
@qaa_question

According to the Occupational Outlook Handbook, economists study how society distributes scarce resources, such as land, labor, raw materials, and machinery, to produce goods and services. They conduct research, collect and analyze data, monitor economic trends, and develop forecasts. They research issues such as energy costs, inflation, interest rates, exchange rates, business cycles, taxes, or employment levels. Economists devise methods and procedures for obtaining the data they need. For example, sampling techniques may be used to conduct a survey, and various mathematical modeling techniques may be used to develop forecasts. Preparing reports, including tables and charts, on research results is an important part of an economist’s job. Presenting economic and statistical concepts in a clear and meaningful way is particularly important for economists whose research is directed toward making policies for an organization. Some economists also might perform economic analysis for the media. Beyond this, many economists specialize in a certain area of economics, such as econometrics, macroeconomics, labor economics, etc.
