<p>Let me intentionally make an argument which I think is wrong, just to illustrate:</p>
<p>"At schools where economics majors are not heavily recruited, business majors will be more employable because they might have specific skills that economics majors would lack, e.g. accounting or specific marketing training. </p>
<p>For example, economics majors can build a model predicting the net exports of a small island country whose main output is widgets with technological modifier Z(1+k)^y, but most of the local employers don’t care about that. They just want somebody to balance their books and write catchy advertisements."</p>
