2.25 MILLION AMERICANS WORK IN ENERGY EFFICIENCY
ENERGY EFFICIENCY—AMERICA’S JOB POWERHOUSE
Across every time zone, state, county, and even zip code, energy efficiency solutions are
creating new economic opportunities. Whether it’s new efficient technologies spurring brandnew companies or established businesses expanding, America’s job growth is being powered by
energy efficiency.
Energy efficiency added the most new jobs in 2017 of the entire energy sector. Its workers now
outnumber elementary and middle school teachers and are nearly double those in U.S. law
enforcement. In fact, there are now as many energy efficiency workers as there are waitstaff in
U.S. bars and restaurants.
A BIGGER PICTURE
This report focuses solely on the energy sector of the economy. Jobs in retail trade, vehicle
efficiency-related work, and the 4.2 million jobs related to efficient manufacturing processes are
excluded from these numbers.
