Before COVID-19, nearly 3.4 million Americans across all 50 states and the District of Columbia worked in clean energy occupations, including renewable energy, energy efficiency, grid modernization, clean vehicles and fuels. That’s more people than work in real estate, banking or agriculture in the U.S., and three times the number of Americans that worked in fossil fuels. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic and ensuing economic crisis, the American Council on Renewable Energy (ACORE), E2 (Environmental Entrepreneurs), E4TheFuture and BW Research Partnership have been publishing monthly analyses of federal unemployment filings to track the ongoing impacts the pandemic is having on the clean energy workforce.
