SHADES OF GREENGrowing Green Jobs for Florida
Florida Workforce Professionals Training AcademyDecember 7, 2011Orlando, FL
Background Leading to Florida’s Green Survey
• In 2008, states started joining together to research definitions of green jobs
• A green jobs workgroup was formed with Florida and 10 other states
• In May 2009, Workforce Florida, Inc. held a workshop to define green jobs for Florida in preparation for a future survey
2
Florida Green Jobs Grant
• In 2009, Florida applied for and was awarded a competitive Labor Market Improvement grant by the U.S. Department of Labor for $1.25 million to:Conduct a green jobs survey statewide and
by workforce regionCreate a green jobs portal on the state
labor exchange system

Florida’s Green Jobs Definition
“A green job increases the conservation and sustainability of natural resources for the benefit of Floridians. This includes jobs that reduce energy usage or lower carbon emissions, and protect Florida’s natural resources...”
Source: Workforce Florida, Inc., Sustainability/Infrastructure Committee, Defining Green Jobs for Florida, June 2009.
4
Survey Definition of Green Jobs
• A green job is one that directly produces green products or directly provides green services in any of the following five green sectors: Produce or manufacture renewable energy Increase energy efficiency Conserve natural resources Prevent, reduce, and clean up pollution Produce clean transportation and fuels
5
Survey Definition of Green Jobs, continued
• The definition attempted to include only green “production” and exclude green “practices” (e.g. recycling facility vs. paper recycling by office workers)
• Florida’s definition of green jobs attempted to exclude indirect and support green jobs
An accountant at a wind turbine manufacturer is not counted as a green job because the accountant does not directly produce a green product or a service and does not need to possess any special green skills (therefore does not need any special new green training)
6
Survey Design
• Surveyed just under 60,000 Florida employers
• Selected a stratified random probability sample by 22 industries by seven employment size classes
• Achieved a response rate of 83.2 percent (excluding out-of-business and unreachable establishments)
7
Survey Questions
• Current (2010) and estimated (2011) green employment by occupation and by industry, statewide and by workforce region
• Estimated number of green establishments• Classification by green sectors and subsectors• Required green certifications and training • Unmet green training needs• Green knowledge, skills, and abilities gaps• Green vacancies
8
Survey Results
• About 1.5 percent of businesses are green (approximately 9,000 green establishments)
• There are just under 45,000 green jobs in Florida (0.6 percent of total employment)
• Employers expect to add approximately 4,000 green jobs from 2010 to 2011
• This is a growth of 8 percent (in comparison, the Florida economy is estimated to grow by 1 percent)
9
Prevent, reduce, and clean up pollution is the largest of the five green sectors (37 percent
of green jobs)

Note: Job estimates across green sectors are not mutually exclusive since employers could mark more than one sector.

Green Jobs on the Targeted Occupations List
• 50 out of 97 occupations on the TOL 2012-13 list (PSAV/CC) are green
• 25 out of 38 occupations on the high demand Bachelor’s degree list are green
24
The greening of an occupation requires acquisition of an extra layer of new green knowledge, skills, or abilities, while
basic educational requirements are little changed
