DOE recently released its 2024 U.S. Energy and Employment Report, which showed clean energy jobs grew by 4.2% in 2023, adding 142,000 new jobs—more than double the growth rate of the overall U.S. workforce. These jobs accounted for 56% of new energy sector jobs, demonstrating clean energy’s role in driving economic growth. This expansion, fueled by President Biden’s Investing in America agenda, underscores the urgent need for a trained workforce to support battery technology and EV development.
