Jobs For Connecticut Now

From Today’s Courant: A study prepared for the Clean Energy Fund this spring calculated that Connecticut companies — from major corporations like United Technologies Corp. to entrepreneurial startups — have already created more than 4,500 direct jobs in renewable energy and energy conservation. An additional 7,200 indirect jobs have been created because of green energy spending. Experts can’t predict how many additional green collar jobs will be created in the future. Economists are generally most encouraged by small company growth, considering it the engine of business that powers tomorrow’s new jobs. By this standard, Connecticut might be considered a promising little green giant.
