If we can promote jobs green color jobs, a whole lot of things would be set in motion. I had tried to do it myself in http://climatarians.org. It is definitely a move in the right direction. Let’s hope more and more people get interested in the green revolution. When jobs are hard to come by, it is amazing to know that people couldn’t attend their own graduation because they were already working. Truly encouraging! Joost Hoogstrate This is a great trend.

Green Collar Jobs are definitely on the rise and something that America needs right now. It's almost like reinventing the Auto Industry, but with Green Jobs. Between Solar sales/installations and large-scale manufacturing of solar products, wind-turbines, as well as retrofitting gigs, the "Green Collar" jobs are what factories were to people in the "Golden Age". Green Jobs promote a sense of possibility and kind of revitalize the "American Dream" in a much cleaner and socially aware way. You don't need to have a doctorate to make a living thanks to Green Collar jobs. Technology is still key, but there are a lot of decent labor jobs being created for previously unskilled workers.

And it is because of the increase in demand and sales of the eco-friendly products that we are currently looking for new sales reps. I agree that growth seems to be green.
