Green Jobs Report Released

Many states are looking to renewable energy and other "green" industries as potential targets for sector strategies. Greener Pathways: Jobs and Workforce Development in the Clean Energy Economy was released by the Center on Wisconsin Strategy, The Workforce Alliance, and The Apollo Alliance, and looks like a great resource for states tackling these issues.

Across the country—in the media; in boardrooms, think tanks, and community organizations; in local and state government; in Congress and on the campaign trail—people are talking about the economic promise of clean energy. Greener Pathways: Jobs and Workforce Development in the Clean Energy Economy puts jobs at the heart of this animated national conversation. This report talks about the kind and quality of jobs in the clean energy economy; the skills needed to fill these jobs; and how existing businesses and their workers—especially those in the beleaguered industrial heartland—can move to the center of the clean energy economy.

The report can be downloaded from the Green For All website.
