“This report shows Washington State’s clean energy economy is vibrant and robust, employing Washingtonians throughout our state. But there is still plenty of room for growth. There’s no reason that Washington state can’t lead the nation and become the hub for the clean energy industry.”— Gov. Jay Inslee
When it comes to clean energy jobs, the Evergreen State is beginning to live up to its nickname. More than 82,800 Washingtonians now work in clean energy—wind, solar, energy efficiency and related industries. That makes the clean energy industry a bigger employer in the state than Boeing (around 65,800 employees), Microsoft (46,000) or Amazon (50,000).
The state is now in the nation’s Top 10 for renewable energy jobs (No. 10) and wind energy jobs (No. 9). And when it comes to all clean energy jobs, Washington is No. 13 in the country. Along with consumer and business demand for energy savings and cleaner energy sources, smart state policies—beginning with the 2006 passage of a renewable portfolio standard and recent updates to energy efficiency programs—are driving the clean energy job growth in Washington.
