New York Continues Building Clean Energy Talent Pipeline to Support Green Economy and State's Critical Climate Goals
Governor Kathy Hochul today announced that the number of individuals with clean energy jobs in New York State reached a record level of 165,000 workers at the end of 2021, helping to lead New York's COVID-19 economic recovery by recouping the clean energy jobs lost in 2020 and exceeding pre-COVID-19 clean energy employment levels by 1,300 jobs. Today's announcement builds on New York State's commitment to ensure a just and equitable transition for all New Yorkers as required by the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act.
"This year's Clean Energy Industry Report shows what I have always known to be true of New Yorkers - that we are resilient, and we keep moving forward in the face of adversity," Governor Hochul said. "Although COVID-19 greatly impacted the entire economy over the last few years, we have seen how the clean energy industry has led the way in our recovery. More New Yorkers than ever before are employed with family-sustaining clean energy jobs and are actively helping New York build a workforce that can meet the demands of the future."
