In October 2008, Global Insight published green job projections in a report developed for The United States Conference of Mayors and the Mayors Climate Protection Center. This report, "Current and Potential Green Jobs in the U.S. Economy," predicts the highest growth of green jobs will be in renewable power generation, residential and commercial retrofitting, and renewable transportation fuels. This report includes projections not only 'direct' green jobs (such as hands-on manufacturing and retrofitting jobs), but 'indirect' green jobs, which they identify as engineering, legal, research, and consulting positions.
