Economics won't teach you a damn thing that's useful about analyzing data in the real world, other than perhaps some statistical methods. IS would be much more useful. I'd hire a CS major over an econ major in a second as a data analyst. Now, if you get into econometrics at the post-grad level, you might be useful as a data scientist. But you'd still have a lot of catching up to do on the systems side.
Are those statistical methods important enough to consider maybe minoring in economics?
