DOE recently released its [2024 U.S. Energy and Employment Report](https://www.energy.gov/policy/us-energy-employment-jobs-report-useer), 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](https://www.energy.gov/investing-in-america), underscores the urgent need for a trained workforce to support battery technology and EV development.
