Environmental Career Center – Helping people work for a better environment since 1980

Our Green Economy is growing slowly according to a  50 page report released by the Economics and Statistics Administration, a division of the Department of Commerce.  The report stated that green business and services accounted for 1.8 million to 2.4 million green jobs in 2007, which is less than 2 percent of the total work force.  However, there is every reason to believe that with the green jobs initiatives of the current administration those numbers are growing.
