As MLC’s Communications and Social Media Manager, Liz Gullett keeps clients informed and up-to-date on the goings on in Lansing and the Capitol.

Michigan was ranked sixth nationally for clean energy jobs. Currently, the state has nearly 128,000 clean energy jobs, with the industry growing twice as fast as economy-wide employment.

Michigan Statistics:

    • The 2024 Clean Jobs America Report from E2 was based on an analysis of the U.S. Department of Energy’s 2024 Energy and Employment Report.
    • According to the report, Michigan is home to 127,690 clean energy jobs, outpacing 44 states.
    • The report also highlighted the state’s position as a leader in overall energy sector job growth, behind only Texas and California.
    • In addition, Detroit was recognized as a top 10 city for clean energy jobs nationwide.

National Statistics:

    • The total number of U.S. clean energy workers is nearly 3.5 million.
    • Clean energy jobs are growing 200% faster than job growth economy wide.
    • Since last year, these jobs have grown 4.5%, adding nearly 150,000 jobs.
    • Clean energy jobs now encompass more than half of the jobs in the overall energy sector, outpacing the traditional energy sector.
