Sadly but predictably, their explanations of economic ideas is straight from the textbook. When asked to give real life examples.. the silence is deafening. This is particularly interesting because they are paid to produce and write economic analysis.
Probably smart test takers who weren't ready for the "real world" after 4 years so they deferred their entry into the workplace for another 1.5 years and waited until a cush government job came along.  You know, where they can continue to hide out from risk, danger, angry customers, quotas, and constantly being judged based on what they added to "the bottom line".

Why do people hire these types?  I mean, if you need them to work on designing models and crunching numbers based on very regimented direction, then I get it.  You're hiring technical bots.  But, if you really need them to think and lead - you're recruiting from the loser's bin.
