An easy answer would: because I'm interested in economics.

More specifically, economics addresses many interesting problems in modern society.

Macroeconomics: how do we eliminate cyclical depressions?

Environmental Economics: how do we properly make decisions regarding the valuation of non-market goods?

Behavioral Economics: how can we explain the possibly non-rational behavior of people.

Development Economics: how can we encourage growth in developing countries.

Just a few issues in economics - people who find such things interesting are drawn to economics.

It demonstrates to an employer that you have a business relevant analytical skillset.

The pessimist in me would also say that it demonstrates that you are willing to 'subjugate an opportunity to get an education to prove to a prospective employer that you believe in the primacy of economic life.'
