The State of Clean Jobs in NY

A trained workforce is critical in the transition to a clean energy economy. Wind and Solar are the 1st and 2nd fastest growing careers in the US. As prices of clean energy resources continue to fall, New York has made clear policy commitments to transitioning its economy off of fossil fuels and towards renewable energy and batteries. Through NYSERDA, New York continues to fund and support programs to build the workforce required to make this transition a reality.

These factors have led to a very strong and growing Clean Energy Industry in New York. According to the NYSERDA Clean Energy Industry Report from 2024, New York is home to 185,000 clean energy jobs. 88% of these jobs belong to the energy efficiency field, which pays 7-9.5% higher than other in-state HVAC or construction jobs. 

New Yorkers for Clean Power is excited about the momentum behind the Clean Energy Transition in New York State, but in order for the Transition to happen when it needs to happen, we need to create and fill a lot more Clean Energy Jobs.
