Chicago’s economics department maintains listservs for internship and job opportunities. I don’t have an account for the jobs listserv, but I can view the archived internship listserv. That may indicate what kinds of employers are interested in hiring Chicago students straight out of college. </p>
<p>Employers listed since January 2013 include Adobe, Alliance Bernstein, Allstate Insurance, AQR, Bain & Company, Berkeley Research Group, Boston Consulting Group, the Chicago Fed, the Congressional Budget Office, Convex Capital Management, the Cook Co Public Defender’s Office, Cornerstone Research, FDIC, HUD, Moneythink, Morgan Stanley, the New York Times, Nielsen, Phoenix Funds, Principal Financial Group, The Greatest Good, the Treasury Dept., and the Zurich Group.</p>
<p>This list suggests that econ majors at Chicago find internships, and presumably jobs, with a wide variety of employers (including market research firms, hedge funds, management consultants, insurance companies, banks, and government agencies). </p>
