Green Jobs Provide Silver Lining to Economy Blues

By Vicki Zambito

Wired Magazine recently published an article on the emergence of what it calls “smart jobs” or innovative middle-class jobs that scramble the line between blue-collar and white-collar. It’s an interesting article. But what struck me most when reading the piece was the accompanying graphic which showed an off-the-chart (literally) gain in jobs in the category of “Renewables and the Environment”. It just seems to be another sign that as we continue to look for ways to improve the economy, we should focus on innovating in the area of green and sustainability. Check out the chart below.
