Green jobs growing in Tenn. labor market
According to two new reports, green jobs in Tennessee are growing and will continue to provide job opportunities for workers in Tennessee. The studies, funded by the U.S. Department of Labor’s Employment and Training Administration, identify the number of green jobs in Tennessee in 2010, expected vacancies in the companies surveyed, and additional jobs created through 2014 by Tennessee's $5.5 billion in investments in the green economy.
The Business and Economic Research Center (BERC) at Middle Tennessee State University partnered with the Tennessee Department of Labor and Workforce Development to produce a study that examines the economic impact of six industries in the state that have invested in green energy and will create new jobs in Tennessee in the next three years. The publication is titled “Green Jobs in Tennessee: Economic Impact of Selected Green Investments in Tennessee.”
The industries in the BERC study include Hemlock Semiconductor; Wacker Chemie AG; Volkswagen; Nissan Leaf and Storage Battery Manufacturing; Tennessee Solar Institute and West Tennessee Solar Farm; and eTec Battery Charging Stations. The analysis addressed where these industries would be classified within the national and local green activity frameworks, how many jobs would be created as a result of these investments, and what occupations are associated with these green investments. “Every job created contributes to a recovering economy,” said Labor & Workforce Development Commissioner Karla Davis. “Labor market information like this gives educational institutions and jobseekers guidance on workforce demands and the training it takes to get a job in this growing industry.”
MTSU’s Dr. Murat Arik, Associate Director for the BERC, said these six industries and their dedication to green technologies have the potential of boosting the number of good jobs in the state. “While many states have been struggling to add new manufacturing jobs, these six green investments in Tennessee have the potential to reverse trends in the state’s manufacturing employment by boosting the job market with nearly 10,000 construction jobs and 17,000 manufacturing jobs,” Arik pointed out.
In 2011, according to the study, the number of direct green construction jobs generated by these six investments was 5,674. In addition, 1,767 indirect green jobs were created, along with another 1,928 induced jobs. This translated into a total economic impact of more than 9,300 jobs across Tennessee.
