Report "High Road or Low Road - Job Quality in the Green Economy"

A report analyzing job quality in the new green economy.

The report outlines the challenges and opportunities faced in uniting labor interests and environmental stewardship. There is an opportunity in creating jobs that are good paying and improve quality of life and environmental performance.

"There is a significant ray of hope amid the current economic gloom: it goes by the name of green jobs. ACer several years of calls by advocacy groups for major public investments in a clean-energy revolution, the federal government now appears ready to include large sums for projects involving renewable energy, mass transit, energy efficiency and modernization of the nation’s electrical grid in the massive economic recovery and reinvestment plan being devised by Congress."
