Workforce is both a challenge and opportunity on the path to an equitable clean energy transition. Specifically, there are challenges with training workers to meet projected demand, ensuring that clean energy jobs are high quality and provide family-sustaining wages, attracting a diverse workforce, and bringing economic development to communities historically left out of opportunities. Understanding the region's current energy workforce gives us a starting point to craft solutions that address these barriers to equitably developing a clean energy workforce.

This section presents visualizations that use data from the U.S. Energy & Employment Report (USEER) to provide a snapshot of the current landscape of energy workers in the Northwest.

The first visualization presents energy jobs by state and county, the second visualization dives into details by energy subsector, and the third looks at how energy jobs have changed each year from 2016 to 2023.
