In September 2010, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) announced its final definition of green jobs and its refined plan to collect data on the number, occupational, industrial and geographic distribution of green jobs across the nation.
AGC submitted comments that ask the BLS to re-think its intentions, based on what it believes is a misunderstanding of the nature of work in the construction industry and a flawed premise that amorphous green jobs can be quantified. AGC is disappointed in the final definition and planned survey, which will exclude many “green” construction workers.
The complete September 21, 2010, notice in the Federal Register, along with an overview of the complete project to define and collect information on green jobs, is available on the BLS website.
