Scientific & Economic Consulting in the US

The Scientific and Economic Consulting industry has succeeded as business confidence has slipped during the economically difficult years from 2018 to 2023. The industry provides consulting services to a diverse range of markets with varying degrees of specialization in products and services, which has helped generate countercyclical demand that saved consultants during the worst of COVID-19.
