I provide advice to government on how to design their policies to maximise jobs and living standards of the people in the country where I live and work. It is a rewarding job. When you get things right, you don't get a lot of thanks - I'm not in it for the money - but you know that you are making a difference to people's lives. It is stressful though, because if your advice is wrong and it causes a recession, then thousands or even millions of people could lose their jobs.

It depends on what field they're in. Research economists look at different economic issues, analyze them, and report on them. An economist in the financial field would have different jobs (looking at markets, forecasting, etc.) based on what firm they work for. There are professors, government economists, bankers, and many different jobs they could hold.

Make predictions about the future by analyzing the current situation. Give advice to those that care.
