The latest reports from the Tennessee Department of Labor points to a large increase in the number of green jobs in Tennessee. This is not totally a surprise for the Department of Labor. After all, the State of Tennessee invested $5.5 billion in the green economy and continues to provide incentives to companies willing to invest in green jobs.
Green jobs could, according to Dr. Murat Arik, an associate Director of the Business and Economic Research Center at Middle Tennessee State University could have a serious effect on the state economy. Dr. Murat Arik was co-author of a report on the economic impact of six industries in the state which have invested in green energy and generated new job opening in green industries. The six industries included semiconductors, leaf and storage battery manufacturing, solar farms and eTec battery charging stations.
According to this report, these six industries alone created 5,674 direct jobs 1,764 indirect jobs and 1,928 induced jobs. That is a total of over 9,300 new jobs. This does not include the 10,000 construction jobs and 17,000 manufacturing jobs these industries have the potential to generate in the short term.

The industries with the highest proportion of green jobs are construction (around 22 percent) and transportation (about 13 percent). Jobs in this sector include team assemblers, which are used to manufacture and assemble energy efficient appliances and solar energy generators. There is also a need for engineers, project managers, construction labors and intercity bus drivers.
The selection of green employment is so wide because green jobs are found in so many industries. For instance, environmental protection, research and consulting, recycling, waste reduction, administration and sustainable transportation are only a few of the many industries that offer green jobs to workers.
However, what can you do if you do not have the training or background to qualify for a green job? The Tennessee Department of Labor and Workforce Development offers workers adult education to provide basic skills and training in high demand positions.
