An economy that works for all Americans depends on access to safe jobs that pay well, builds up communities and protects the air we breathe, the water we drink and the climate we live in. And that just happens to describe the fastest-growing jobs sector in the entire energy industry: energy efficiency.
According to a new report by E2 and E4TheFuture, America’s energy efficiency industry added 76,000 jobs last year and now employs more than 2.3 million workers. The report, “Energy efficiency jobs in America,” finds that in 41 states and the District of Columbia, more people work in energy efficiency than in the fossil fuel sector.
