The government says it wants to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/uk\/britain-create-440000-new-jobs-with-net-zero-strategy-minister-2021-10-19\/#:~:text=LONDON%2C%20Oct%2019%20(Reuters),diesel%20cars%20by%20that%20time.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">create 440,000 new green jobs<\/a> by the end of the decade to support the UK\u2019s net zero transition. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/news\/science-environment-58899006\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Various pledges<\/a> have been made, including a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/news\/business-58959045\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">boiler replacement grant<\/a>, push towards electric vehicles, cutting buildings emissions and funds for developing alternative energy sources.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over a period of around five-and-a-half years from 1 January 2016 to 8 October 2021, green jobs increased their share of overall job postings on Indeed by 13%. But the share of green jobs remains low at around 2,000 per million job postings. Our estimates suggest new green jobs need to be created at approximately 25 times the current pace to get the UK on track to meet the target by the end of the decade.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ons.gov.uk\/economy\/environmentalaccounts\/methodologies\/thechallengesofdefiningagreenjob\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Definitions of green jobs vary<\/a>. Our approach is to look at job titles that contain certain keywords related to renewable energies and then filter this list to identify job postings that are clearly dedicated to environmental installation, management or protection (details in methodology section below). This is a similar approach to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.onetcenter.org\/green\/emerging.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ONET&#8217;s &#8220;Green New and Emerging&#8221;<\/a> category, though somewhat narrower.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Office for National Statistics estimates that there are currently <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ons.gov.uk\/economy\/environmentalaccounts\/bulletins\/finalestimates\/2019\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">just over 200,000 jobs<\/a> in the UK low carbon and renewable energy economy. The ONS analysis uses a sector-based approach rather than looking at occupational categories. That\u2019s an important difference, though the ONS\u2019 estimates suggest even less growth of green jobs in recent years than our measure \u2014 in fact broadly static employment in the low carbon and renewables economy between 2015 and 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Green jobs growth has been subdued in recent years<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While there has been much talk in the past about the need to stimulate green jobs, the data suggest this hasn\u2019t translated into much action. The share of green jobs on Indeed has risen by just 13% since the start of 2016. A rough calculation indicates that such a run rate would fall far short of the government\u2019s stated ambition.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With zero employee turnover, adding 440,000 green jobs by 2030 would mean an average of nearly 50,000 green job postings a year. That assumes all jobs are advertised online (Indeed aggregates job postings from all over the web) and that one job posting represents one vacancy (which does not always hold in practice). That would correspond to around 5% of postings in a \u2018typical\u2019 year, whereas in 2021 to date the share has only been 0.2%. Though that\u2019s just an approximation, and there are definitional differences in green jobs measures, it does suggest a big upshift will be required.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/A-qjHhMl6h62ZoiGuWa92UKqb_8B6h-dUhPCkaaDzG4_lv7cZchefZAbGu6aVAmxfSwwhOy7lu6vwig8ksYOxAxUp-KlaGdKUVN9qhoVM-N42k675DvyUQwZjpvKONKPmdob3V8Y=s1600\" alt=\"A line graph titled \u201cGreen jobs share hasn\u2019t risen much\u201d \" \/><figcaption><em>A line graph titled \u201cGreen jobs share hasn\u2019t risen much\u201d showing the share of green job postings per million job postings on Indeed from 1 Jan 2016 to 8 October 2021.

Environmental manager takes second place at 15% of green jobs, followed by ecologist (10%). Sustainability consultants, insulators, energy consultants, water treatment specialists, wind turbine technicians, environmental specialists and environmental engineers complete the top ten.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Though rhetoric often cites \u2018high quality\u2019 green jobs, typical salaries for these roles are mixed. Median annual pay for full-time employees in the UK is around \u00a331,000, according to the Office for National Statistics. Environmental managers (\u00a337,500) and sustainability consultants (\u00a342,500) therefore appear to be relatively well-paid roles, while other green jobs tend to be paid similarly or below the UK average. Recycling worker is the lowest paid role, with a median advertised salary of \u00a318,720.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh6.googleusercontent.com\/QTGfS3DsrdPjotsurk6hqKDA5TrZ0bh4v9N7ZwdlNRobOugJIcBtr_8jV-y-5xr9nV3O4oLMrc0VzdeXrGU8wF4FMAO0pGiCzhqW4u9U3C6-H9zMKM-aKM4tfaEThMs7pGJB6tQc=s1600\" alt=\"A table showing the top ten green job titles by share of all green jobs between 1 January 2021 and 8 October 2021.\" \/><figcaption><em>A table showing the top ten green job titles by share of all green jobs between 1 January 2021 and 8 October 2021.
