The clean-energy economy added more than 3 million jobs across the nation last year with New Jersey among five states that recorded job growth in the sector of more than 6%, according to a new report.
Nearly every clean-energy sector surpassed its pre-pandemic workforce numbers as the industry added jobs 53% faster than the overall U.S. economy, according to the eighth annual Clean Jobs America analysis by E2 (Environmental Entrepreneurs), a business group.
The largest jobs growth occurred in clean-vehicle manufacturing, which added nearly 50,000 jobs and outpaced the gas- and diesel-powered vehicle industry by more than 250%.
