NASHVILLE, Tenn. – State officials say Tennessee is one of the first states to conduct a comprehensive business survey to identify green jobs.
The Tennessee Department of Labor plans to mail more than 6,000 surveys to Tennessee employers this month.
The surveys will focus on economic activity in the energy efficiency and renewable energy industries. They will also identify occupations and skill requirements within those industries.
Results will be published online next spring at www.sourcetn.org. They will establish a baseline from which to measure growth of green industries and jobs within the state.
