Green Construction Jobs on the Rise
As expected, the design and construction industry continues its trend toward sustainability; a recent study performed by McGraw-Hill Construction found that 35% of jobs in the industry are now green. A job is defined as “green” if it involves over 50% of work on green projects. The number of green jobs runs parallel to the size of the green building market, which stands at 35% of the construction market. This number is expected to rise; by 2014 the green building market may comprise as much as 50% of the construction market.
