A recent Bureau of Labor Statistics report counts 3.1 million green jobs in the U.S. economy. However, the BLS defines these jobs so broadly that it includes even school bus drivers and trash collectors.
David W. Kreutzer, Research Fellow in Energy Economics and Climate Change in the Center for Data Analysis at the Heritage Foundation, says, "Cheerleaders for the president’s program of green jobs mandates and spending point to the study as confirmation of green jobs’ economic importance."
I bet you are surprised that politicians can define anything in anyway.
I was surprised to lean that I have a green job. Makes me proud.
I take out the trash.
