2 Occupational Profiles: Growth Jobs Requiring Green Skills The following profile is one of several profiles created to provide background on emerging employment opportunities for key green occupations. Occupations were defined based on Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) code used to define occupations within the Occupational Employment Statistics program of the Bureau of Labor Statistics ( The profiles can be useful to a variety of user groups, including job seekers, new graduates, new-to-career adults, career counselors and others as they seek to understand growing occupations that frequently support green activities or require green skills. For each occupation, wherever data are available, these profiles describe: I. What is the job? This section provides a description of the job, background on the activities involved, what types of green activities might be performed, and a list of comparable jobs. II. Where are the jobs currently? This section shows how many people were employed in this occupation (including those green and nongreen jobs), how many green positions were available recently, and what industries typically employ workers in this occupation. III. What could workers earn in this occupation? This section shows the historical average wages associated with all jobs (green and non-green) in these occupations in different parts of the state, as well as the median green wage as advertised in recent online job postings. IV. What is the outlook for jobs in this occupation? This section shows the extent to which there is projected long-term demand for workers in these occupations. Recognizing that long-term projections data about jobs requiring green skills are not available, the projections include information about all jobs in the occupation. V. How do workers prepare for jobs in this occupation? This section provides details on the training, certifications, education and work experience required for these occupations. Whenever possible, certifications tied to green-related activities are highlighted. Occupations profiled were selected using quantitative and qualitative data obtained through research efforts under the Arizona State Labor Market Information Improvement Grant Initiative. Various data sources were used in creating the occupational profiles as outlined below. Occupational Information Network (O*NET) data were used as a measure of the skills, knowledge, and abilities required for the occupations. Certification, training, and education related information was also obtained from O*NET ( The Arizona Green Jobs Survey was used to identify and classify the components of the job that are green and common certifications held by green workers within an occupation ( Employment and wage estimates are from the Occupational Employment Statistics (OES) program. These are estimates of the number of people employed in certain occupations, and estimates of the wages paid to them. Self-employed persons are not included in the estimates. These estimates are for the state, and for metropolitan and nonmetropolitan areas ( Postings and wage estimates from advertised online jobs were provided by Burning Glass, a private company. It is to be noted that these are advertised positions and wages that reflect the vacancies

3 within the occupations and are not necessarily realized employment or earnings ( Data on the industries employing the workers within respective occupations were obtained from Economic Modeling Specialists Inc. (EMSI) ( Long term employment projections were from the Office of Employment and Population Statistics ( Focus groups with industry leaders and stakeholders Input from the Arizona Project Steering Committee and Green Economy Advisory Committee Occupations included in these profiles were selected based on anticipated positive job growth. Efforts were made to include a diversity of job types to meet the needs of a variety of job seekers, employers, and trainers. Whenever unique information is available for green occupations, disaggregated data for both green and nongreen occupations are provided. Where green data are not available, information provided is an aggregate of both green and non-green (with this data gap noted in the profile). The goal is to provide job seekers, employers, and trainers with the most complete picture available of the status of the occupation and related career opportunities. General Table Note: Cases where fields are marked indicate that no data were available for the occupation.
