From pathways to policy: an overview of green collar jobs advocacy

Daniel DiFranco

Profitwise, 2009, issue Sep, 2-8

Abstract: The term \\"Green Collar Job\\" for many of those who use it, represents more than a label describing environmentally friendly occupations. In particular, the expression tends to evoke a hopeful vision of economic development that combines inclusive prosperity and environmental stewardship in complementary ways. Yet even supporters who admire the term's ability to inspire acknowledge its ambiquity and unwieldiness from a technical perspective. Others have even wondered whether the phrase is anything more than a \\"trendy term for politicians and others to bandy about.\\"
