Environmental Entrepreneurs (E2) recently released its Clean Jobs Colorado report, which states that Colorado had about 60,000 clean energy jobs at the end of 2018. Mesa County ranked 11th in the state with 1,122 jobs, according to the data. The 10 counties in front of Mesa are on the Front Range. Statewide, employers are predicting 10% growth in 2019. The industry is expected to pick up further as Gov. Jared Polis pushes toward his stated goal of having Colorado achieve 100% renewable energy by 2040.
