The Farm Bill isn’t typically considered environmental legislation, but that’s a mistake. The legislation has an enormous direct impact on the quality of our country’s air, water and, perhaps most important, its soil. As a result, it also determines the health of our economy and environment. And the 2018 edition, which provides a blueprint for […]

More than 55,000 Oregonians work in the state’s clean energy sector. Policies like the Renewables Portfolio Standard, Clean Fuels Program and Coal to Clean are driving local development of infrastructure projects like solar arrays and wind farms. All this economic activity is fueling private-sector job growth. Oregon’s rural clean energy workforce is robust, and the state ranks No. 14 nationally in solar jobs—this despite a population of just 4 million. But Oregon’s clean energy sector is just warming up. Additional job opportunities and clean energy markets remain untapped.
To stay competitive in a rapidly shifting energy market—and to take full advantage of the clean energy job creation happening at the state, regional and national levels—the Oregon legislature should pass the Clean Energy Jobs Bill during the 2019 legislative session.
This report focuses solely on the energy sector of the economy and does not include jobs in retail trade, repair services, water or waste
management, and indirect employment or induced employment.

“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.
This report focuses solely on the energy sector of the economy and does not include jobs in retail trade, repair services, water or waste management, and indirect employment or induced employment.
