Green Power Employment Outlook

The United States has ambitious plans to convert the electric industry, which had long been dominated by coal power plants, into a zero-carbon-emissions economic sector by 2035. Accomplishing that will require building out gigawatts of generating capacity involving wind, solar, nuclear, and other emissions-free power technologies.
According to an October 2023 report accompanying the most recent data release, “The clean energy transition is expected to be the main driver of fast growth for 4 of the top 15 fastest growing industries and 2 of the top 15 fastest growing occupations.”
