The number of green jobs estimated in Workforce Region 18 in 2010 was 1,714.
Through a combination of new hiring and converting existing positions to green, employers expected to add 1,773 jobs in 2011.
Most green jobs in the region were skilled workers, such as inspectors, testers, sorters, and weighers, and heating and cooling mechanics.
Landscape architects and environmental science and protection technicians had the highest share of green jobs compared to total jobs in the occupation.
