Green Jobs are Growing

An article on Newsweek.com says that environmental job market is as strong as ever. According to recent Department of Labor numbers, among the fastest growing professions are environmental engineers, hydrologists, environmental-health scientists, and urban and regional planners. As employers are becoming more aware of green issues, they are hiring people who can implement greener practices for them. This news is great for recent graduates who may have grown up being passionate about the environment.
According to the article, some green jobs are growing at double digit rates, especially in consulting. Fortunately, for those interested in snagging a green job, having a college major in an environmental science is not necessary to get a green job. Passion is what counts, but people from all kinds of backgrounds and disciplines are needed to help save the earth. Green living does work and can pay your bills!
