Nearly 52,000 people in New Jersey – about the same as are employed by UPS, Walmart and Verizon combined – make their living in the clean energy sector, bumping the state to the No. 9 spot in the nation.
That’s according to nonpartisan business group Environmental Entrepreneurs (E2), which on Thursday marked one year since the signing of the state’s Clean Energy Act with the release of the Clean Jobs New Jersey report.
