A few of the report’s key findings include:
- Clean energy employs 85,197 people at 7,500 business establishments statewide. Energy efficiency is the largest industry in the sector, employing four out of five clean energy workers in New York.
- Clean energy businesses anticipate growing more than 6 percent this year. That’s more than double the growth rate of the entire U.S. economy in 2015.
- Clean energy knows no politics. Clean energy jobs are growing in legislative and congressional districts across the state. With the right policies from Albany and Washington, D.C., even more jobs can be created all across New York.
