The United States’ is in the early stage of a clean energy boom that’s driving new investment and job growth in every state across the nation – thanks to smart climate policy.
Nearly 300,000 new energy jobs were created nationwide in 2022 according to the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) 2023 U.S. Energy and Employment Report (USEER). 114,000 of these jobs were in clean energy technologies like renewables and zero-emission vehicles, and clean energy jobs grew 3.9% compared to 2021, outpacing 3.1% nationwide job growth over the same time.
Clean energy jobs offer higher wages than the national average, and are widely available to workers without four-year degrees, meaning most Americans can access them. Earlier Brookings Institution research found that a clean energy job can equal an 8%-19% income increase, and 45% of all workers in clean energy production only have a high school diploma, while earning higher wages than similarly educated peers in other industries.
