Economist
 
The BLM Economist evaluates the economic impact of public land use on the human environment. For new public land activities, the Economist may ask: how many jobs will be created?, can the local community support additional visitors or business?, or will the activity provide revenue for the local community? Accurate answers to these and other socio-economic questions ensure that public land managers have the knowledge to make sound resource management decisions.
