Mathematics vs economics degree

Which degree is more valued?

I could do honours in either, but the math route at my uni seems to be about twice as much work, which is pissing me off. I prefer math but is it worth busting my ass for?

By math, do you mean
a) stochastic analysis and numerical PDEs etc.?
or
b) algebraic topology, operator theory etc.?

Because if you mean b) the only thing it's good for outside math and perhaps physics, is showing that you're a good learner. From what I've heard a) is valued, especially if you know some computer science as well. (At least that's what the investment bank people told us mathematicians when trying to recruit us.)
