[From the U.S. Department of Labor] The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) is responsible for developing and implementing the collection of new data on green jobs.
The information will assist policymakers in planning policy initiatives and understanding their impact on the labor market, and will facilitate the monitoring of labor market developments related to protecting the environment and conserving natural resources. BLS activities also will be useful to State labor market information offices in their efforts to meet the need for information for State policymakers, businesses, and job seekers.
In the March 16, 2010 FEDERAL REGISTER, BLS announced it is "currently soliciting comments on the definition BLS will use in measuring green jobs, the industry list, or any other aspect of the information provided in (the) Notice."
Written comments must be submitted to BLS by April 30, 2010.
A nonprofit 501(c)3 organization, the RCWE’s mission is to connect people with jobs through collaborative workforce development efforts and strong partnerships with economic development, business, education, and government sectors in the Northwest Pennsylvania region.
