| My question is: what does that mean? How do you judge if it is of economic interest or not? Are there any examples of one or the other? | |

Well. A waiter job is not of any economic interest. A blue-collar worker job is generally also not. There's ample supply of both in the country and they don't generate much tax revenue.
A position for somebody with comparatively rare skills
commanding a correspondingly large salary or, better yet, for an executive of a large-ish company are certainly of an economic interest.
A full professorship at a federal university is certainly of scientific interest.

Kind of, but no.
It's a federal law. Whatever is considered of economic interest may vary a lot between cantons, and it may also change in time. The Swiss federal laws aren't usually polluted with such minutiae.
It would be nice if the cantonal job market authorities published a list of what jobs they considered of such and such importance, but unfortunately they don't.

| Another important question is: is there any way to prove it? Can a company issue a document stating that the job function is of economic interest? | |

The company can state whatever they want but it doesn't mean that the authorities will agree with that.
