Speaking as someone who has worked as an economist my entire professional life, I find this whole discussion somewhat pointless. Reeves has a bachelor's and masters degree in economics. She worked in a role entitled economist at the BOE (I have never met her myself but I know people who worked with her at the BOE and consider her a talented economist). At HBOS she worked in some role that, it seems, may not have had the job title "economist". But she may well have drawn on her economics training in the job and considered it an "economics job". Referring to herself as an economist across both roles therefore doesn't seem a particularly egregious crime. It's not as if being an economist is such an exalted position in a financial institution - if only it was!Rachel Reeves’s real banking roles revealed after claim she was an economistHer role was variously described as an 'analyst' and an 'economist' in earlier profiles:
Sources have told the i that rather than being an economist, she worked in customer relations and mortgages.
However, a source close to Ms Reeves explained to i the change was as a result of a one of her staff incorrectly listing the job description on the business networking site.

Embellishing her CV has failed to get me particularly excited, but this...liar, liar, pants on fire.....why is a lacky doing your LinkedIn profile...and you never checked what they put on it..... Come on man.....

"I've got two economics degrees," she says, through gritted teeth. She has also had stints at the Bank of England, the British Embassy in Washington and as an analyst at HBOS...
Unlike Ed Balls, Reeves is untainted by New Labour's love affair with light-touch City regulation (her career at HBOS was based in its retail division up in Yorkshire, not among the high-rollers in the capital).

A junior chess champion from a relatively humble background, she spent 10 years as an economist for the Bank of England, HBOS and at the British embassy in Washington before entering Parliament.
6 days later she probably found out the cheque had bounced.While Florida AG, she received a $25,000 donation from Trump and then, 4 days later, announced that Florida would not be pursuing a case against the fraudulent Trump University.With regard to prosecuting Trump, the new AG's priority will be determining that nothing gets done.First in, unlike Matt GaetzReplaced by Pam Bondi, who’s a State AG who knows how to get stuff done.
EDIT: Second in, unlike Matt Gaetz
