[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here-large, corporate, financial- very stable. He is an economist.[/quote] Still very context-dependent. Litigation generates significant money for economists, but only in certain fields. A macro or finance person may draw interest from financial firms. Someone like a USDA economist will have a somewhat tougher time drawing interest from firms that would directly value the government work he has done. Economists with strong empirical skills are valued by a slew of companies, e.g., Amazon, Google, or government contractors. But the market for economists is weak right now, as both university and government hiring are way down, so at least at the moment he'll end up competing with a bunch of very strong new PhDs that would get academic or government jobs in a more normal year. He should maybe start with any firms he interacted with in the course of his government service?[/quote]
