Abstract: The proposed data collection will explore employment related to energy, including electric power generation, electric power transmission, distribution, and storage; energy efficiency, including heating, cooling and building envelope; fuels; and motor vehicles production. The purpose is to quantify that employment, and its distribution among different sources of energy and the technologies employed. This effort will collect data necessary to extrapolate employment by primary value chain activity, including: research and development; manufacturing; sales and distribution; installation, repair and maintenance; and professional services. It will also collect data on workforce demographics and the establishment’s perception on the difficulty of recruiting qualified workers.
