Growing Green Collar Jobs explores how sustainability can be an economic engine for New York City. We define green-collar jobs as work in an environmental sector that provides family-sustaining wages, workplace safety and health, and chances for advancement. Prepared for the New York City Apollo Alliance, the report looks at the opportunities for creating new green-collar jobs, the importance of retooling existing jobs to incorporate environmental practices, and the barriers to green-collar job creation.
