The job requirement part really depends on the job. Most central banks use EViews as the mainstay of their models, but few central banks advertise on Monster.com. I only see EViews used in utility companies etc...
If you compare EViews and Stata, my subjective view is that EViews is much more user-friendly, and this is why I use it for my courses that I teach (Econometrics 1 and 2 and Time-series analysis). Moreover, this EViews forum with extremely competent support staff is also an advantage of EViews.
Yes, numerical results do differ between programs. The differences are usually small. Differences typically arise from how the numerical optimisation is done. I.e. choice of starting values, choice of minimisation algorithm, implementation of said algorithm, choice of stopping criteria, etc.
EViews enables users to simply drop files for automatic conversion and linking with foreign data and metadata into the workfile format. Copying and linking data between pages of different frequency is made possible and easy using automatic frequency conversions.

I prefer state instead Eviews, because Stata is stronger than Eviews(in particular for panel data). also, I think Stata is more usual among economists (than Eviews). but Eviews is simpler and...
I think the major difference is that. Gretl is a free open source time series and regression modelling program, designed for the purpose of econometrics. While E-views similar to Gratl also have...
Apr 4, 2020 · In my experience, I think Python is better for econometrics than R and Stata for the following reasons: a) In real applications, get and transform data is 60% of the work. For this tasks Python is better. b) To select the best model and features it's necessary to use loops.
