The Future of Solar Jobs
On a more positive note, the Solar Foundation published data in 2019 stating that the number of Solar jobs in the US had increased by 2.3 percent to nearly 250,000 jobs. However, the industry may have been making up for the losses it experienced in recent years. From 2017-2018, the number of Solar jobs decreased 3.2 percent.
While the US will be leaning heavily on the Solar sector to help cut carbon emissions, the Solar industry will continue to struggle to retain talent.
