Nearly 37,000 Clean Energy Jobs Lost in 2025
E2, the nation’s most effective business organization for the environment, and Cleantech Leaders Roundtable (CTLR), the nation’s most influential group of cleantech leaders, announced they are joining forces on September 30.
The U.S. clean energy workforce fell by nearly 37,000 jobs last year to 3.52 million, according to new E2 analysis of recently released U.S. Department of Energy data. It was the first annual job loss in the U.S. clean economy since the pandemic-driven economic crisis, ending four consecutive years of strong growth. The reversal coincided with the sharp increase in clean energy project cancellations tracked by E2 since the Trump administration and Congress began ending and rolling back federal support for clean energy and electric vehicles beginning in January 2025.
