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. This effort will collect data necessary to extrapolate this information by primary value chain activity. It will also collect information on demographics and hiring security.
