green collar jobs
The Governor's Commission on Global Warming has provided a number of policy options which if implemented could make Arkansas a leader in clean, green energy.
Recent studies show that the state could create thousands of green collar, well paying jobs through energy efficiency, renewables, forestry, and retrofitting buildings.
Why Green Collar Jobs
Repowering Arkansas . . . Empowering Arkansans
Green-collar Jobs Rebuild a Strong Middle Class
Green-collar jobs are good jobs. Green-collar jobs pay family wages and provide opportunities for advancement for a career with increasing skills and wages.
Green-collar Jobs Provide Pathways Out of Poverty
While some green jobs require advanced technical skills, most are middle-skill jobs requiring more education than high school, but less than a four-year degree.
Green-collar Jobs Strengthen Local Economies
Much of the work to green our economy involves transforming the places that we live and work, and the way we travel. From weatherizing our most inefficient buildings to planting trees to fixing hybrid cars, many green jobs are difficult or impossible to outsource.
Green-collar Jobs Can Rebuild Both Urban and Rural Communities
Green economic development strategies can drive reinvestment in these areas while benefiting local residents. From new transit and weatherization spending to windmills and biomass in our state's heartland, green jobs represent a reinvestment in America’s people and communities.
