The U.S. energy sector is undergoing a profound transformation, driven by state and federal policies that are reducing emissions, promoting innovative technologies, and supporting domestic manufacturing while creating high-wage jobs across the country.
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) 2024 U.S. Energy Employment Report (USEER) examines employment trends across both traditional and emerging energy sectors, highlighting the expansion of the energy workforce and the growth of new domestic supply chain roles.
Key findings include:
🟢 Job creation: Clean energy accounted for 6% of all newly created jobs in the United States in 2023.
🟢 Growth rate: Employment in clean energy grew at twice the rate of traditional energy sectors and the overall economy.
🟢 Workforce diversity: Unionization increased in utilities and construction, along with a significant rise in employment for military veterans and Latino or Hispanic workers, who now hold one-third of new clean energy jobs.
🟢 Hiring trends: Employers reported improved ease in hiring qualified workers compared to the previous year.
These insights underscore the transformative impact of clean energy investments and their role in building a more dynamic and inclusive workforce. For a detailed analysis of these trends, access the full report here: https://lnkd.in/db_Ed-S8
