1 Green Jobs Survey Workforce Region 14 Pinellas County

2 Green Jobs Survey Workforce Region 14 Purpose The Green Jobs Survey for Workforce Region 14 (Pinellas County) was conducted in. The survey was conducted by the Florida Agency for Workforce Innovation in partnership with Workforce Florida, Inc., and was funded by a competitive grant awarded by the U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration. The regional data provided are designed to inform local workforce, education, and economic development partners of the dynamics of the green economy in the workforce region. The survey aims to help providers tailor training for green occupations most in demand. Green Jobs The survey results indicated an estimated 2,099 green jobs in Workforce Region 14 in. This represented 0.5 percent of total employment and 1.7 percent of total establishments. Employers expected to add 104 jobs by 2011, representing a growth rate of 5.0 percent. Including employers who did not have green jobs currently but planned to add new green jobs and/or to convert non-green to green jobs within the next year, job growth in the region was expected to reach 9.5 percent (199 jobs) for a total of 2,298 green jobs in Most of the top green jobs in the region were professional or technical. Region 14 has one of the highest concentrations of manufacturing jobs in Florida, and electrical and electronic assemblers was the largest green occupation with 235 jobs in. Methodology The survey was organized into several sections. One section covered Green Activities at the establishment level and survey respondents were asked to provide information on their type of green activity broken into five types: produce renewable energy (PRE); increase energy efficiency (IEE); conserve natural resources (CNR); prevent, reduce and clean up pollution (PRC); and produce clean transportation and fuels (PCT). These abbreviations will be used to reference activity groups in the following narrative. These five activity groups were further broken down into sub-activities. Respondents were asked to provide a one-year estimate of possible changes in their green jobs count by one of the five green activity groups. The second part of the survey asked respondents about their green occupations, if they had any green vacancies, what additional training was needed related to green knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSAs), what green KSAs were needed in the future and the linkage between green occupations and the five green activity types listed above (PRE, IEE, CNR, PRC, PCT or other). The survey sample of 2,735 produced 1,544 reporters with useable responses. Excluding out of business and unreachable establishments, the final response rate was 80.6 percent. 2
