WHY “GREEN”? WHY NOW?THE CASE FOR RESEARCH ON THE GREEN ECONOMY
High profile policy priority related to: Energy Economic Development Job Creation
Lack of a baseline of information about the economic importance of “green activities”
Significant investments being made in policies to promote “green” economic activity and job creation
Need for information to guide expectations about impacts of green investments
Nearly $50 million available for research and capacity building from American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009

ABOUT THE ARRA LABOR MARKET INFORMATION IMPROVEMENT GRANTS:AN OPPORTUNITY TO GET ANSWERS
What exactly should be counted as a “green” economic activity or a “green” job?
How important is “green” to the current economy?
What jobs are available (or will likely become available) as a result of growth in the “green” economy?
How do those jobs compare with other sectors?
Implied question: Is the policy focus on growing “green jobs” warranted as an economic development goal?

DEFINING GREEN JOBS:
Green jobs are either: Jobs in businesses that produce goods or provide
services that benefit the environment or conserve natural resources.
Jobs in which workers’ duties involve making their establishment’s production processes more environmentally friendly or use fewer natural resources.
--Bureau of Labor Statisticswww.bls.gov/green

MEASUREMENT APPROACH USED IN “BATTELLE STUDY”
Identify Arizona-based enterprises producing green goods and services.
No existing industry classification for green industries:
E.g., solar energy, energy efficient products, green materials, and reduction of greenhouse gases are not “industries”
Used business lists to identify companies with:
Green certified products, VC/patent databases, national association memberships, market research listings, etc.
Existence and operations of these firms were also verified to the extent possible through the examination of company websites and phone calls.
Used employment reported in the Dun & Bradstreet company database.
Used company websites to confirm Arizona business locations for firms not listed in D&B

SETTING THE CONTEXT: AN EMERGING GREEN ECONOMY
First Wave – Traditional Environmental Industries Led by advancement of environmental laws and
regulations to address problems from air pollution, contaminated water, and hazardous/solid waste, among other environmental threats
Emerging Wave – Renewable Energy & Energy Efficiency Led by growing concerns about the
environmental impacts of climate change as well as the rising cost and uncertainty of oil supplies

DIFFERENT METHODS OF COUNTING GREEN JOBS
Industry Approach
Enterprise Approach (Battelle study)
Occupational Approach(Arizona Green Jobs Survey/C2ER)
All jobs classified green or non-green by industry
31,649 estimated jobs
1.2% of all AZ employment
30,716 estimated jobs
1.3% of all AZ employment
Assign all jobs from a BLS-defined green industry
Assign entire establishment’s D&B reported employment to green sector based on knowledge of products or services
Assign a subset of firm’s jobs, counting only those that the company identified as “green”
Advantages:•Quick and easy to calculate•Big employment number
Disadvantages:•Includes many “non-green” activities•Misleading characterization of green sector
Advantages:•Uses existing data sources for employment•Organizes firm-level data in ways that allow time-series
Disadvantages:•Requires manual classification of individual firms•Data not readily available to public
Advantages:•More accurately reflects company perspectives•Differentiates green/non-green at the occupation and job-title level
Disadvantages:•Represents point in time estimate•Expensive to replicate

KEY FINDINGS FROM ARIZONA GREEN JOBS SURVEY
25
![Page 26: A RIZONA IN THE G REEN E CONOMY Labor Market Information Improvement Grant Project Overview Session 1 April 25, 2011.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110304/551b7b33550346a10a8b4e8f/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Survey results indicate that Arizona is presently home to 30,716 green jobs.
This figure represents 1.3 percent of total statewide employment, falling slightly below average shares found in several previous studies of U.S. and other states’ green employment.
![Page 27: A RIZONA IN THE G REEN E CONOMY Labor Market Information Improvement Grant Project Overview Session 1 April 25, 2011.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110304/551b7b33550346a10a8b4e8f/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Service industries dominate Arizona’s green employment activities.
Like the rest of the Arizona economy, most of the state’s green jobs are located in service-related sectors, such as architecture, construction, and engineering.
![Page 28: A RIZONA IN THE G REEN E CONOMY Labor Market Information Improvement Grant Project Overview Session 1 April 25, 2011.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110304/551b7b33550346a10a8b4e8f/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Green jobs and green industries closely align with existing industries and industry clusters.
At present, nearly all of Arizona’s green jobs are located in firms that employ workers in both green occupations and traditional occupations.
![Page 29: A RIZONA IN THE G REEN E CONOMY Labor Market Information Improvement Grant Project Overview Session 1 April 25, 2011.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110304/551b7b33550346a10a8b4e8f/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Arizona does not yet appear to have any clear emerging large clusters of businesses or jobs in the leading clean tech sectors.
However, Arizona is home to several leading research institutions that are creating significant new competitive advantages for the state in areas such as advanced energy storage, nano-materials, or biofuels.
![Page 30: A RIZONA IN THE G REEN E CONOMY Labor Market Information Improvement Grant Project Overview Session 1 April 25, 2011.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110304/551b7b33550346a10a8b4e8f/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Small businesses account for the bulk of existing and new green jobs.
About half of the current green jobs are found in companies employing 50 people or fewer. An estimated 73 percent of new green jobs will be created in these small firms.
![Page 31: A RIZONA IN THE G REEN E CONOMY Labor Market Information Improvement Grant Project Overview Session 1 April 25, 2011.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110304/551b7b33550346a10a8b4e8f/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
A large number of the current jobs making up Arizona’s green economy require relatively low skills and offer relatively lower average wages.
Many of the state’s current green jobs pay wages below state averages and have limited education and training pre-requisites.
![Page 32: A RIZONA IN THE G REEN E CONOMY Labor Market Information Improvement Grant Project Overview Session 1 April 25, 2011.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110304/551b7b33550346a10a8b4e8f/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
The state’s fastest growing green jobs tend to be concentrated in fields that provide higher quality and better paying jobs.
Many of the green industry sectors and occupations slated for rapid future growth also pay higher wages than statewide averages. In addition, the green economy appears to be poised as a solid base for middle skill jobs.
![Page 33: A RIZONA IN THE G REEN E CONOMY Labor Market Information Improvement Grant Project Overview Session 1 April 25, 2011.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110304/551b7b33550346a10a8b4e8f/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Anticipated green job growth rates are quite impressive and represent a likely fast-growing sector in Arizona during the coming year and beyond.
Overall, Arizona-based businesses expect to see 8.6 percent growth in green jobs in 2011, far outpacing the projected statewide growth rate of only 0.7 percent for all jobs.
