Jobs in the U.S. clean energy industry in 2023 grew at more than double the rate of the country's overall jobs, and unionization in clean energy surpassed for the first time the rate in the wider energy industry, the Energy Department said on Wednesday. Employment in clean energy businesses - including wind, solar, nuclear and battery storage - rose by 142,000 jobs, or 4.2% last year, up from a rise of 3.9% in 2022, the U.S. Energy and Employment Report said.

The clean energy sector added 142,000 jobs last year, accounting for more than half of all new energy sector employment, according to data from the Department of Energy.
