Green Jobs Potential
Posted by Carol Coletta on February 28, 2009 |
I found a partial answer to my question about green job at this post on Environmental and Urban Economics blog. Duke's Gary Gereffi has reviewed the green jobs industry and identified promising green jobs in these industries: promising green manufacturing industries;
LED Lighting, High-Performance Windows, Auxiliary Power Units, Concentrating Solar Power, Super Soil Systems, Heat Pump Water Heaters, and Recycling Industrial Waste Energy. But Matthew Kahn who writes the job raises some important challenges to Gereffi's analysis. So we'll continue to watch and hope that these jobs are real and plentiful, although it is still hard to imagine that these industries won't be concentrated.
