A “Green Recovery” report recently released by the Center for American Progress and Dr. Robert Pollin from the University of Massachusetts Political Economy Research Institute looks at how a $100 billion strategic investment can generate 2 million new, well-paying jobs (at least $16/hour) in the renewable and energy efficiency sectors and beyond.

The bottom of this page contains links to the report’s breakdown by state.

For example, in California this green investment would result in a 1.3% decrease in unemployment. The job creation would be seen primarily in the manufacturing and construction sectors, both of which sorely need the boost.

What would this Green Recovery do for your state?
