A report from the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center estimates there are now more than 64,000 people in the state working in the so-called “clean energy” economy, about 1.5% of all jobs in the state. The report identified 4,909 clean energy companies across the state. The report said those companies saw a 6.7% increase in jobs between July 2010 to July 2011, and expect employment growth rate of 15% from July 2011 to July 2012.
The report defines clean energy companies as those involved with researching, developing, manufacturing, or distributing goods or services related to renewable energy, energy efficiency, energy storage, carbon management, or electric or hybrid cars.
