Maths vs Economics

Hi guys, I know I'd like to study a maths based course but I was wondering which one had more employability. I'd normally assume it was maths but I've got quite a few friends and family who are still unemployed despite having finished their maths degree, some quite a few years ago.
I know that this is a broad question but I'm mostly thinking of finance related jobs such as accounting and banking.
Thanks.

Alright mate so basically, any degree can get you into banking as long as

1. Good uni (top 10 for econ and maths)
2. You get above a 2.1

I go to notts for econ (top 6) and I'm going into the same area as you. I really REALLY enjoy econ as its much more interesting. Btw, I was going to do maths
