Godfather Politics – Giacomo – 5/16/2012
The BLS defines green jobs
as: “Goods and services produced by an establishment that benefit the environment
or conserve natural resources. Green goods and services fall into one or more
of the following five groups: (1) production of energy from renewable sources;
(2) energy efficiency; (3) pollution reduction and removal, greenhouse gas
reduction, and recycling and reuse; (4) natural resources conservation; and (5)
environmental compliance, education and training, and public awareness.” If you
notice, the BLS definition of green jobs is so broad that it includes garbage
collectors and port-a-potty cleaners. It’s also interesting to note that very
few of the BLS green jobs are the ones that the Obama administration has thrown
billions of dollars of incentives and loans towards.

considered to be green
