In ASL, many occupation signs are formed by a classifier that shows the field plus a sign meaning “person who does this” (agent). The upside-down CL:E handshape focuses on the economic/financial domain, and adding the agent tail indicates a person who works in that domain. Put together, this exact construction signs an occupation tied to the economy: economist. The other jobs would use different base signs or classifiers that don’t match this inverted E pattern with agent, so they don’t fit the described sign.
