Colorado Green Jobs Report
In a recent report commissioned by the Governor’s Energy Office (GEO) and the Green Jobs Working Group (GJWG), the American Solar Energy Society calculated that, in 2007, renewable energy and energy efficiency sectors employed over 90,000 individuals in Colorado. This figure is comparable to the computer services industry and greatly surpasses employment in traditional energy sectors, such as oil and natural gas. The study also concludes that, given sustained commitment to the New Energy Economy, Colorado has the potential to create over 600,000 jobs in green energy sectors over the next 20 years.
