Economan is a male social class in the Republic of Gilead mentioned in The Testaments[1], though its existence (male Econopeople) is implied in the show as well.

Legal Situation of Economen[]

Flashback scenes in Late suggest Economen can keep some of their pre-Gileadean liberties, like holding down a (remunerated) job or owning property; unlike for several female social classes, there aren't any evidences in the show for the existence of male slave labor.
