Colorado’s clean energy employment rebounded this summer, but industry is still smaller thanks to Covid-19

The erosion of clean energy jobs caused by Covid-19 reversed a bit over the summer as some jobs returned to Colorado, but the industry is still thousands of positions smaller than before the pandemic hit.

A new report tracking industry job trends shows that wind, solar, energy efficiency and other clean energy employers in the state filled 1,466 positions in June and then hired 103 more workers in July.
