Public ISBD Titre : Counting up to green : Assessing the green economy and its implications for growth and equity Type de document : document électronique Auteurs : Ethan Pollack, Auteur Editeur : Economic Policy Institute Année de publication : 9 October 2012 Collection : Briefing Paper num. 349 Importance : 18 p Langues : Anglais (eng) Tags : Economie verte  Etats-Unis  Développement durable  Emploi Résumé : What is a green job? We tend to think of a green job as one that benefits the environment, but illustrations tend to be limited to fossil fuels vs. renewable energy. In fact, whether to categorize a specific occupation as a green job is not always straightforward: what about bus drivers, or software engineers who help design smart-grid technologies, or commercial construction workers? The economy is made up of more than coal miners and solar panel installers, and many occupations have significant roles to play along the spectrum between the fossil fuel economy and a “clean” economy. Without a definition of what green jobs are it is difficult to count them, much less determine what role green jobs and industries play in the economy today and going forward.
