I don’t think PhD production is irrelevant to someone who says he or she is definitely interested in Economics and graduate school.

It definitely is irrelevant if the person is looking to go to graduate school for an MBA, which a lot of econ majors are. In the context of this discussion, without further knowledge of what the OP is really looking for out of an econ-based career, Ph.D. productivity statistics are useless.
