Current predictions that the green job sector will continue to grow as other sectors suffer are a great incentive to get skilled in sustainability. The Canada-based Environmental Careers Organization forecasts that employment growth in green sector jobs will have surpassed Canada’s national average by 23 percent by 2011. Plus, two-thirds of existing green employers are slated to boost their hiring in the next two years. In a tough job market, it’s even better news that sectors not traditionally associated with being green—such as marketing or construction—are also poised to hire more staff to support their environmental initiatives.
