Economics grad attributes early success to Carthage ‘toolkit’
Troy Durie ’18 is a senior data scientist in economic and market intelligence at Grainger, where he helps shape and sharpen the big picture for the industrial products company.
“We help create the macroeconomic outlook,” he says. “I’m interested in the size and growth of our current market, based on different economic variables, and then I try to understand where our market will go.”
Mr. Durie, who majored in economics at Carthage with a minor in geographic information science (GIS), brings extensive experience to the job. He saw firsthand the importance of future-minded strategies as an intern with the Council of Economic Advisers, the federal agency charged with providing objective economic advice to the U.S. president on both domestic and international policy.
“I got a chance to work with super brilliant economists from across the country,” he says. “It was extraordinary to learn from them.”
