Jobs in LA’s Green Technology Sector
March 1, 2006 / By Patrick Burns and Daniel Flaming / the City of Los Angeles' Workforce Investment Board-Development Dept. and Department of Water and Power
Los Angeles has been a path breaker in setting increasingly ambitious environmental goals and introducing innovative technologies to achieve those goals. The City commissioned this study to investigate the job opportunities that would result from becoming a center of production for “green” goods and services that provide renewable or less-polluting sources of energy, and help reduce pollutants from our existing industrial base, transportation infrastructure, and residential communities.
