Colorado Clean Energy Industry Recovers From Pandemic Losses

The U.S. had reported as many as 600,000 clean energy job losses at one point last year, but a strong rebound reduced that number to about 307,000 job losses by the end of the year, said Bob Keefe, executive director of Environmental Entrepreneurs, on Monday. Colorado’s clean energy industry employed 58,182 people at the end of 2020, the Denver Post reported. The state is ranked 18th in the U.S. in industry employment. It lost 6.8% of its jobs last year, but employment bounced back 6% from June to December.
