While good news it's in an economy that isn't adding traditional jobs nor even advanced jobs, meaning that the so called 'free market' trickle down economy staunch defenders are still hoarding and not investing. Effectively locking the breaks on what had made this Country and Society the envy around the World it once was. Others are now rapidly advancing to fill that huge void.
Jan 21, 2011 - From January 2008 to 2009, the most recent observable year, jobs in the green sector grew more than three times faster (3 percent) than total employment in California (1 percent). And the rate of growth of green jobs has been similar to that of software jobs since 2005, according to new statistics released by Next 10.
The "Many Shades of Green" report states that the core green economy now accounts for 174,000 jobs in California.
"The green job data is significant because these jobs are growing in every region across the state, outpacing other vital sectors, and generating business across the supply chain," said F. Noel Perry, founder of Next 10. "There are very few business sectors in a state as large as California that employ people across every region. The emergence of this vibrant Core Green Economy can be attributed to California's history of innovation, as well as our forward-looking energy and energy efficiency policies." {continued}
