Good Jobs/Green Jobs National Conference - February 2009
A compilation of the most recent information with regard to the emerging green economy.

U. S. Metro Economies:  Current and Potential Green Jobs in the U.S. Economy
“The economic advantages of the Green Economy include the macroeconomic benefits of investment
in new technologies, greater productivity, improvements in the US balance of
trade, and increased real disposable income across the nation. They also include the microeconomic
benefits of lower costs of doing business and reduced household energy expenditures.
These advantages are manifested in job growth, income growth, and of course, a
cleaner environment.”
