Economist - Meet people in this job
Fiona Stokes – Economist:
Fiona Stokes is an economist for BERL, a private economic research company that works with clients including government departments, regional councils and private businesses.
Getting out in the field
Fiona Stokes is keen to dispel the myth that being an economist means you are bound to a desk.
“We’re based in Wellington, but I have clients nationwide and we do a reasonable amount of travelling. Last week I was in Whakatane, next week I’m going to be in Dunedin – I’m away somewhere at least two or three times a month.
“Because of that you get to meet a variety of people – from people who are running their own companies to city councillors.”

Good communication skills a must
Because you work with a range of people, communication is an essential part of the job. “You need to be able to relate to people from a variety of backgrounds, and be able to take quite technical information and make it easier to understand.”
“If you can explain to somebody in those 30 seconds that it takes to get from the ground floor to the fifth floor what they need to know to meet their needs, then you’ve done your job.”
Slideshow
A job well done
For Fiona, the greatest sense of satisfaction comes from helping clients improve their business.
“A couple of years ago we did a survey of the forestry and wood processing industry, looking at what skills and training employers and staff would need in the short to medium term. That was a really good project because I got to meet with employers, and see some of the issues and barriers they were facing. And I also got to talk to people who were employed in the industry and hear their point of view in terms of the skills and training they required to do their job.
"It gave me a good feeling to know that the work I was doing, and the recommendations I was making in the report, were going to have a positive impact on their business and the wider community.”
