NEW JOBS, PROJECTED 2016-2026

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects job growth in occupations related to helping the environment or conserving natural resources. Two occupations that BLS projects to have the fastest employment growth from 2016 to 2026 — solar photo voltaic installers (105% increase) and wind turbine service technicians (96%) — involve green work. The number of new jobs is projected to be relatively small in these and some other rapidly growing green occupations.
