Jobs in select energy segments, 2016 Sustainable energy jobs, 2016

U.S. energy overview: Jobs in select segments of the energy sector

  • The renewable, energy efficiency, and natural gas sectors employed an estimated 3.3 million Americans in 2016, according to the Department of Energy.

Energy efficiency alone supported 2.2 million jobs, while solar supported roughly 374,000 and natural gas 362,000.

  • While renewable sectors like solar, wind, hydropower and geothermal do not require upstream processing or extraction of a fuel, fossil-fired generation
  • does. Adding in these fuel-related jobs notably boosts the total employment by fossil fuel-fired generation and bioenergy. In 2016, 86% of the 362,000 jobs

associated with the natural gas sector came from fuel supply. Coal employed 160,000, with about half in coal production and supply.

  • Energy efficiency jobs related to construction often hire people who also work on other types of construction tasks (26% of the 1.4 million employees in this

category spend only the minority of their time on efficiency).
