New York Helping Create 1 Million “Good Paying, High Quality Jobs”

New York State is doing its part to save the planet while creating 1 million “good-paying, high-quality jobs.”

Governor Kathy Hochul announced New York’s participation in the U.S. Climate Alliance’s Governors’ Climate-Ready Workforce Initiative.

Climate Week In New York State

New York State officials are marking Climate Week in New York today by announcing a climate change jobs-related initiative.

Hochul and a bipartisan coalition of 23 other governors, are working together to improve and expand pathways into a wide variety of climate-ready jobs that are “critical to building a clean, equitable, and resilient net-zero future”, according to Hochul’s office.

“The initiative’s launch comes as historic federal investments, combined with ambitious state climate action, have unleashed a significant expansion of good-paying and union jobs in clean energy and clean technology fields—such as wind, solar, electric vehicles, energy efficiency, and batteries—with millions more anticipated in the coming years under the Biden-Harris administration’s Inflation Reduction Act and Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act,” Hochul’s office told Hudson Valley Post.

Good Paying, High Quality Climate Jobs

Governor Kathy Hochul says the Climate-Ready Workforce Initiative will grow career pathways in climate and clean energy fields that will lead to “good-paying, high-quality jobs.”
