The clean energy sector continues to feel the pain of the coronavirus pandemic’s impact on the economy, adding just 13,600 jobs in August.
Monday’s report from BW Research Partnership Inc. also adjusts the particularly anemic July estimate from 3,200 jobs added up to 10,373 jobs, leaving the overall losses since the pandemic’s start hovering just under half a million at 490,341. This is up from the sector’s May nadir of more than 600,000 jobs lost.
