What types of Economist jobs are the most prevalent in the private sector? What do people do in these jobs? For instance what does a corporate economist do?

Non-native English speaker here. 

&#x200B;

It seems that virtually all the occupations of an Economist is in the government. There does not seem to be that many Economist jobs in the private sector. 

I am referring to Economist occupations here and I am not talking about people with a background in Economics who goes on to be a Financial Analyst within a business or do any other job other than that of Economics regardless of their occupational title. 

&#x200B;

My question is: 

\- What percentage of Economist jobs are in the private sector? 

\- What are the *types* of these jobs? 

\- What do people in these jobs do on a daily basis? For instance what does a corporate economist do? 

&#x200B;

PS: I know these are basic questions, but I couldn't find any information on this topic even after weeks of searching. Maybe I am using the incorrect search terms in Google because English is not my native language. If anyone can guide me to a PDF or link online where I can get the information in my questions that would be great as well. 

Thanks in advance.

In the banking industry there is a demand for PhD economists. Typically from the best schools and usually with a focus on Financial Econometrics. 

Also real estate companies need economic analyst to study the housing market. But typically a BA/BS is enough.
