Clean energy jobs have surged past 3.5M nationwide, adding 520K+ positions since 2020, according to the 10th annual Clean Jobs America report. (E2)
Last year, the sector grew 2.8% (by nearly 100K jobs), outpacing overall US employment growth more than threefold. Clean energy now supports more than three times as many workers as fossil fuels.
Energy efficiency leads with 2.38M jobs, followed by renewable generation (569K), clean vehicles (398K), and storage and grid (168K).
Growth drivers include EV adoption, battery storage, and smart grid deployment, but…policy headwinds might put that growth on the skids.
