Top 20 Green Jobs

Green jobs might be rare these days due to the economy but recent data shows green/eco friendly jobs are on the rise. Varying skill levels are needed as well, from executives to manage green initiatives to auditors to conduct green audits.

"The leading job tiles show the breadth of green positions across the economy," says Rona Fried, Ph.D., CEO of SustainableBusiness.com, which runs Green Dream Jobs. "Most people think of energy auditing and renewable energy as green jobs, but leading non-profit organizations are major employers, and people needed to run projects and analyze data are in demand, as well as those in sales and business development. Engineers are also in demand for renewable energy operations and even in this economy, we're still seeing many job openings in green building."
