Check out the hottest states doing Green !
Over the last decade, green jobs in the US have experienced red-hot growth, according to a new study by
Pew Charitable Trusts.
The
Clean Energy Economy report found green jobs grew at a pace nearly
two-and-a-half times greater than overall jobs between 1998 and 2007,
though they remain a tiny part of overall jobs.
Pew classifies
green jobs as those involved in expanding clean energy production,
increasing energy efficiency, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, waste
and pollution, and conserving natural resources.
