As a former professional economist, it's important. I will say however it's the most misunderstood field in the world, and everyone has an opinion on it, usually with far less understanding of it than they think.

I took 3 economics classes, and then did my Master's in Public Administration.

Not necessary (for the master's program or for my jobs so far), but taking those classes was one of the best academic decisions I made in college. Very enlightening classes.
It depends on your specialization in public admin? EMA or Non profit management? Little, economic development or economic policy? A lot
