Hi, I’m a freshman economics major. Due to it being a short major and various AP credits I could finish my economics degree in 4 more semesters. So, I’m going to get another major/minors. My two options are to either double major with stats or double minor in stats and math. My question is which one is a) better for job market and b)better for graduate school?

My goal is to work for the feds in one of the research bureaus out of college and then eventually go to graduate school. Which one will further my skills and marketability as an economist? Either one I choose I will graduate on time.

Thanks

Dan
