# MEASURING THE GREEN ECONOMY

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The Administration is committed to fostering the development of a clean and energy-efficient economy; that is, a “green” economy. This means encouraging the development of green businesses and green products and services, which in turn will create “green jobs.”

Our results suggest that green products and services comprised 1% to 2% of the total private business economy in 2007. The lower estimate was developed using a narrow definition that included products that we found generated little debate regarding their “greenness.” The larger estimate was based on a broad definition that included products that some might argue were not green. Under the broad definition, the share of green products and services was substantially larger, but still constituted only a relatively small part of the economy.

The number of green jobs was also found to be modest, ranging from about 1.8 million jobs under the narrow definition to 2.4 million jobs under the broad definition. These jobs constituted between 1.5% and 2.0% of total private sector employment in 2007. Green products accounted for about the same share of employment in the manufacturing sector as in the services sector.

ESA analysts used publicly available data to estimate the national production of green products and services. As our nation promotes greater environmental stewardship, it is important to establish national benchmarks by which to measure progress toward a greener economy and nation. While this report does not establish an official benchmark, it outlines a process that might be used to establish such a benchmark.

In this report, a product or service was considered “green” based on whether it conserves energy and other natural resources or reduces pollution. ESA analysts applied this definition to over 22,000 product codes from the 2007 Economic Census to estimate the share of green products and services in the U. S. economy. These data cover most of the private sector economy. We utilized information from other sources when Economic Census data were not available. We compared estimates from the 2007 Economic Census to estimates from the 2002 Economic Census for manufacturing products.

The analysis in this report provides a starting point for measuring future progress as the green economy grows in the United States.

# MEASURING THE GREEN ECONOMY

PRINCIPAL FINDINGS

● 

# Our results suggest that green products and services comprised 1% to 2% of the total private business economy in 2007. The lower estimate is based on a narrow definition of products and services over which there would likely be little debate about their classification as green. The larger estimate is based on a broader definition that includes products and services whose classification as green is more open to debate.

● 

# The employment generated by the production of green products and services is assumed to result in green jobs. Like green products and services, green jobs were also a relatively small part of the economy. According to our estimates, the number of green jobs ranged from 1.8 million jobs under the narrow definition to 2.4 million jobs under the broad definition.

● 

# The services sector accounted for roughly three-fourths of green business activity; manufacturing accounted for about 13%. Construction and agriculture made up the remaining share.

● 

# Energy conservation, resource conservation and pollution control accounted for the predominant share of green business activities, making up about 80% to 90% of green shipments/receipts and employment. Renewable/alternative energy and environmental assessments accounted for a smaller share of green products and services shipments/receipts and employment.

● 

# Between 2002 and 2007, the share of green shipments and green jobs in manufacturing remained fairly constant, ranging between 0.9% and 1.3%. Green manufacturing jobs fell over this period as did jobs in all manufacturing.

● 

# The green economy is in a position to grow quickly, but the relatively small size of the green economy suggests that a majority of the jobs that will be created during this recovery are likely to come from the production of products and services outside of the green economy.

● 

# This report provides a significant initial step toward measuring the size and composition of the green economy; however, much more work needs to be done to develop better measures of the
green economy.

# MEASURING THE GREEN ECONOMY

I. INTRODUCTION

The Obama Administration has a strong commitment to fostering the development of a green economy; that is, a clean and energy-efficient economy. This means encouraging the development of green products and services that contribute to economic growth and improve this nation’s environmental stewardship. The jobs that are created and supported in businesses that produce green products and services are green jobs. This Administration is working to expand the green economy through a number of initiatives, including significant investments under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.

A major priority for the Department of Commerce is to support and encourage business initiatives that improve the environment and increase energy efficiency throughout the nation. Many businesses and industries are taking significant steps to provide greener products and services to the American consumer. Going forward, it is essential to develop a systematic method of measuring progress in this area, using the most comprehensive, up-to-date publicly available data.

The Economics and Statistics Administration (ESA) of the U.S. Department of Commerce produced this report using publicly available data to estimate the production and employment associated with products and services identified as green. Most of the data came from the 2007 Economic Census produced by the Census Bureau. This report describes how these green products and services were identified and discusses a variety of different measures of the coverage and size of the green economy.



# II. IDENTIFYING GREEN PRODUCTS AND SERVICES

This section provides a brief description of how we estimated the size of the green economy from available data. A more detailed description of our methodology is available in Appendix 2A. (Available online at http://www.esa.doc.gov/GreenEconomyReport/Appendix2/ .)



# Definition of Green Products and Services

Our criteria for identifying and assessing green products and services were based on the President’s energy conservation and environmental goals. For the purposes of this project, we defined green products or services as those whose predominant function serves one or both of the following goals:

● 

# Conserve Energy and Other Natural Resources: This includes products or services that conserve energy to reduce fossil fuel use and promote water, raw material, land, and species and ecosystem conservation; or

## MEASURING THE GREEN ECONOMY

● 

# Reduce Pollution: This includes products or services that provide clean energy or prevent, treat, reduce, control or measure environmental damage to air, water and soil. The remediation, abatement, removal, transportation, or storage of waste and contaminants also are considered to reduce pollution.



# The Data Used To Identify Green Products and Services

The estimates of the green economy in this report were based almost entirely on the 2007 Economic Census — the broadest and most detailed measure of private sector economic activity in the United States. The Economic Census is taken every five years. The most recent Economic Census measured business activity based on responses from more than 4.7 million companies in late 2007 and early 2008. Businesses are primarily classified as manufacturing or services industries using six-digit North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes. The industry data are further disaggregated into individual product/service codes.

Only industries in the private business sector are covered by this study. The Economic Census does not cover several sectors of the economy. The largest excluded sector is government, including Federal, state, and local government activities, which accounted for about 12.6% of GDP in 2007. This means that government-owned establishments are excluded, including public utilities, the postal service, publicly-operated buses and subway systems, and construction performed by government employees. Other excluded sectors are agriculture, rail transportation, educational institutions, political organizations, and private households.

The data available from the Economic Census have limitations for assessing green products and services. First, product codes were not designed to identify the environmental impact of products or services. Second, only products and services that have their own product code can be separately assessed. As a result, there are some products and services that may be generally recognized as green that could not be separately assessed within the current 2007 Economic Census coding framework. This includes products such as alternative fuel vehicles and energy efficient appliances.

We attempted to account for certain green products and services not covered in the Economic Census by using other data sources to estimate the sales and employment associated with these products and services. Data were obtained from a variety of public and private sources to estimate the green proportion of each product or service relative to its overall market (usually based on shipments/receipts). When possible, supplemental data were used to estimate green shipments/receipts and employment as a share of related Economic Census product or service categories. We have included supplemental estimates for alternative fuel vehicles and hybrids, green building construction, energy efficient appliances, photovoltaic cells and organic agricultural products. Although this exercise helped create a more complete measure of green business, there remain several notable green products and services not included in our analysis. Further details about the supplemental estimates for these products and services can be found in Appendix 2B. (Available online at http://www.esa.doc.gov/GreenEconomyReport/Appendix2/ .)

## MEASURING THE GREEN ECONOMY



# Categorizing Green Products and Services

Estimating the share of green economic activity requires assessing all products and services that could be considered green. ESA analysts examined the more than 22,000 product and service codes in the 2007 Economic Census to make this assessment.

To take into account some of the disagreements regarding the “greenness” of various products or services, we categorized products and services using both a narrow definition and a broad definition of green. The narrow definition includes only those products and services for which ESA analysts assumed there was wide agreement regarding their classification as green. The broad measure includes products and services whose green status may be more open to debate. Using our more conservative, narrow definition, we identified 497 product and service codes as green. Using our broad definition, we identified 732 product and service codes as green. Table 1 provides examples of the products and services in the narrow and broad green categories. A complete list of green products and services selected for this study is in Appendix 1.

As a general rule, ESA analysts considered a product to be green based on its usage, not the production process by which it was produced or the environmental consequences associated with its disposal. While we acknowledge that the natural resource and environmental consequences related to a product’s life cycle are important in defining green business activity, the use of the Census product and service codes does not permit the examination of these aspects. Also, the product codes, and therefore the data, do not distinguish among similar products produced using different techniques, some of which might help to conserve energy or natural resources, or be less polluting. An exception was made, however, for product codes that clearly could only be produced using greener inputs or manufacturing processes. Examples include products that were labeled as “recycled,” “rebuilt,” “reused,” “remanufactured,” or “reconditioned.” These conserve energy and natural resources by replacing products produced from new materials and resources, and therefore, meet the criteria described above.

Due to the structure of the current product and service codes, some of our green product and service categories contain a share of non-green products and services. Similarly, some excluded categories contain a share of green products and services. For example, product codes related to plastic materials do not include separate codes for “bioplastics,” which are produced from renewable feedstock and may be biodegradable.

For some products and services, it was difficult to discern the importance of certain green characteristics relative to the overall product or service. For example, the “tire servicing” category includes activities that inflate and balance tires, which improve mileage and reduce energy use. However, since this is not the predominant purpose of tire servicing, ESA analysts did not classify tire servicing as green. Another example is bicycle production. While only a small portion of bicycles are used for commuting purposes, they were included as a green product because ESA analysts determined that on balance the use of bicycles is beneficial for reducing energy use. However, because the inclusion of bicycles as a green product could be debated, they were included in only the broad (not narrow) category of green products and services.

U 

# When the “greenness” of a product in the analysis was considered controversial (e.g., biofuels and nuclear energy generation), those products and services were included only under the broad definition of green products and services.



# Estimating the Shipments/Receipts and Employment Generated by Green Products and Services

Once we identified a complete list of green products and services, we calculated the shipments/receipts and employment associated with those products and services. 1 

# However, employment data are only available for more aggregated six-digit NAICS industries, and not for the most detailed product or service codes. Therefore, to estimate green employment, we first calculated the value of green products and services shipments/receipts as a share of total shipments/receipts for each NAICS industry that was associated with a green product or service. We assumed that the share of green shipments/receipts equals the green share of employment at the NAICS industry level. We then applied this green share of shipments/receipts to the NAICS industry employment level to estimate the number of green jobs in that industry. A more detailed discussion of the methodology is included in Appendix 2A. (Available online at http://www.esa.doc.gov/GreenEconomyReport/Appendix2/ .)



# Advantages and Limitations of the Methodology

The definitions and methodology that we used to estimate the share of green business in the economy have both advantages and limitations. We summarize these here:

Advantages

● 

# This analysis is based on publicly available data. These data and our basic approach can also be used by others who prefer alternative definitions of green products and services.

● 

# The basis of this analysis, the 2007 Economic Census, is the most comprehensive source of business information in the United States.

● 

# The Economic Census is conducted every 5 years, so it may be possible to track the growth of green industries or products over time in the future.

Limitations

● 

# The Economic Census is taken only every 5 years and data are released on a staggered basis, with at least a two-year lag between the collection and release of initial data. This report is based on 2007 data, the most recent data available.

1 

## The 2007 Economic Census provides direct measures of the dollar value of shipments for individual manufacturing products

and sales, receipts, or revenues for individual services (non-manufacturing). We refer to these throughout the document as shipments/receipts.

## MEASURING THE GREEN ECONOMY

● 

# While it is possible to compare 2002 and 2007 Economic Census data within manufacturing industries, the substantial changes to the product codes for services since 2002 make it difficult to track changes in green services.

● 

# Data from the Economic Census do not cover all sectors of the economy and are suppressed for some industries if the number of firms reporting in a particular industry, product code, or geographic region is too small.

● 

# Industry and product codes do not distinguish between green and non-green industries, products or services. For example, product categories for windows and doors do not differentiate windows and doors that provide better insulation from those that are not insulated and therefore are not energy efficient.

● 

# Geographic data from the 2007 Economic Census are not yet available. When the data are available, we may be able to locate where green products and services are produced.

● 

# Industry and product codes do not permit the examination of aspects of production or disposal, therefore our analysis does not take into account product lifecycle or the production process (except for recycled inputs).



# Comparison with Previous Studies

Many other studies have estimated the contribution of green businesses and jobs to the U.S. economy. These studies differ in their definition of green, their methodology, and their coverage area. Such differences make comparisons across studies problematic. Below is a short summary of the primary studies and their findings. Appendix 2C provides a more thorough review of green definitions and methodologies that these studies used to estimate the size of the green economy. (Available online at http://www.esa.doc.gov/GreenEconomyReport/Appendix2/ .)

Although the exact definition of green varies across studies, there is remarkable similarity in many of the studies as to what constitutes green. Most studies utilize the concepts of energy efficiency, renewable or clean energy sources, and protection of the environment as guiding principles for defining the green economy. These principles are also echoed in the environmental product lists of Eurostat (2009) and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (1999). Although the similarities are strong, differences in opinion and definition can arise. For instance, there is disagreement on whether nuclear electricity generation should be considered a green business. In our study, those products and services that are not universally considered green are placed in our broad category definition. Detailed product classifications are in Appendix 1.

Studies also differ in their methodology. Many of the studies that attempt to measure the size of the green economy use businesses as the basic unit of measure (for example, Pew Charitable Trusts, 2009). Those studies then measure the size of the green economy as the sum of all businesses considered to be green. Our study, by contrast, uses individual products and services as the unit of collection, realizing that businesses may produce a mix of green and non-green products and services.

## MEASURING THE GREEN ECONOMY



# The third main dimension that differentiates studies on the green economy is the scope of their coverage — especially geography. While some studies provide information about the entire U.S. economy, most are state-level studies based on special surveys. These studies found that green jobs account for about 1.6% of employment in Washington State (Washington State Employment Security Department, 2008) to 4.8% in Missouri (Missouri Economic Research & Information Center, 2009).

Previous studies vary in their approach and resulting estimates of the size of the green economy. However, nearly all studies find the share of the green economy to be less than 5%. For example, the Pew study found that green jobs accounted for 0.5% of 2007 private business employment in the United States. This result is nearly identical to a study by Global Insight (2008) that used a methodology similar to that of the Pew study.

In contrast to these earlier studies, this report is the first analysis to use publicly available, official government data to estimate the share of the total U.S. green economy. By looking at the share of shipments/receipts, as well as the share of employment, based on both narrow and broad definitions of green products and services, this report provides a range of estimates about the importance of the green economy in 2007. The methodology utilized in this study can be readily used to produce alternative measures of the green economy based on different categorizations of the products and services that form the basis for this analysis. For more information on the studies detailed above see Appendix 2C. (Available online at http://www.esa.doc.gov/GreenEconomyReport/Appendix2/ .)



# III. SIZE OF THE GREEN ECONOMY

Measuring the size and scope of the green economy in the United States is useful for at least two reasons. First, it is valuable to know the share of green products and services in the overall economy. Second, the growth — and potential for future growth — of the green economy is of great interest to policymakers. The results of our analysis show the share and composition of green products and services in the economy.

Table 2 shows total nominal shipments/receipts and employment for products and services defined as green in our analysis, by major industry category, and as a share of the economy as a whole. We use shipments/receipts as the key measure of economic activity because it allows us to calculate comparable results for all industries. While value added is a more precise measure of the contribution of an industry to the economy, the Economic Census provides it for manufacturing industries only.

We show the results from our narrow and broad definitions of green products and services separately. A comparison between these results provides an estimated range for the size of the green economy. For example, rows 5 and 6 in Table 2 show the shipments and employment for manufactured products that we classify as green. The value of shipments of narrowly defined green manufactured products totaled $48 billion in 2007, or about 0.9% of all manufacturing shipments. Using the broad definition of green products, green manufacturing shipments totaled $69 billion or 1.3% of all manufacturing shipments. Green manufacturing jobs narrowly defined totaled 197,000 in 2007, or 1.5% of all manufacturing employment. When the broad definition of green was used, the number of jobs rose to 241,000, or 1.8% of the total.

## MEASURING THE GREEN ECONOMY 41822_MeasureEconpages.qxd 4/15/10 3:35 PM Page12



# Table 2 suggests the following facts about the green economy:

● 

# Green products and services comprised a modest 1% to 2% of the total economy. This means that between $371 billion and $516 billion of private sector shipments/receipts in 2007 was in green products and services.

● 

# The share of employment devoted to the production of green products and services was slightly larger than the share of shipments/receipts, ranging from 1.5% to 2.0% of private sector employment. This translates into 1.8 to 2.4 million jobs.

● 

# Using the broad definition of green products and services increased the estimated size of the green economy by as much as 40%. However, even under this definition, the green share of the economy was relatively small.

● 

# Construction was the industry with the highest share of green shipments/receipts and employment.

● 

# The majority of shipments/receipts and green jobs were located in the services sector.

12 U.S. Department of Commerce ● 

### Economics and Statistics Administration

## MEASURING THE GREEN ECONOMY



# To put the number of green jobs in perspective, the 2.4 million jobs involved in producing green products (using our broad definition) is equivalent to 15 months of job growth at the average monthly rate that occurred during the expansion from 2003 to 2007. The green economy is in a position to grow quickly, but the relatively small size of the green economy also suggests that a majority of the jobs that will be created during this recovery may come from the production of products and services outside of the green economy.

Table 3 shows shipments/receipts per worker by industry sector for green manufacturing and services industries, as well as a ratio of shipments/receipts per worker for all non-green manufacturing and services industries. Table 3 differs from Table 2 in that it was based only on data from the 2007 Economic Census and does not include the supplemental estimates. The results in Table 3 indicate that the value of shipments per worker in green manufacturing was about equal to the value of shipments per worker in non-green industries — a bit less using the narrow definition, and moreusing the broad definition. The value of shipments per worker for green services was less than nongreen services. 41822_MeasureEconpages.qxd 4/15/10 3:35 PM Page13



# Table 3 provides some insight about the relative pay of green jobs. Pay is likely to be related in some manner to shipments/receipts, with higher-paying jobs to be found in industries with a high level of shipments/receipts per worker. If that is the case, Table 3 suggests that green jobs are likely to pay about the same or a bit more than other jobs in the manufacturing sector and pay somewhat less than other jobs in the services sector. It should be stressed that this is indirect evidence on pay levels and many other factors besides shipments/receipts per worker may shape workers’ pay. In addition, there is likely to be considerable variation in wages within individual industry sectors. Additional research would be required to better understand the implications of the results in Table 3 on worker pay.

# IV. GREEN BUSINESS – A MORE DETAILED LOOK

Green Products and Services by Industry Sector

Figure 1 shows the composition of the green sector of the economy across industries in 2007, based on shipments/receipts. The figure illustrates that a large share — slightly over three-fourths — of all green business activity was in the services sector. Another 13% was in manufacturing, with the remainder in construction and agriculture. This is not surprising since a large share of all economic activity was in the services sector (73.2% of shipments/receipts for the four sectors shown here).

Wholesale trade as well as administrative and support and waste management and remediation services accounted for the two largest green industries in the services sector (irrespective of narrow/broad categorizations). Within the wholesale trade industry, 90% of green product shipments/receipts were in the recyclable material merchant wholesale industry.

Figure 2 shows the distribution of employment in green jobs across industries. More than threefourths of all green jobs were in services, similar to services’ share of shipments/receipts. Manufacturing accounted for about 10% to 11% of green jobs. Construction was only responsible for about 12% to 13% of green employment.

## MEASURING THE GREEN ECONOMY



# Green Products and Services by Activity

We categorized our green products and services into five types of green activity: pollution control, resource conservation, energy conservation, the production of renewable/alternative energy, and environmental assessment. Refer to Table 1 for examples of products and services that fall under each category.

Figures 3 and 4 show how shipments/receipts were distributed among green activities using both the narrow and broad definitions for green products and services. In Figure 3, using the narrow definition, resource conservation, energy conservation, and pollution control each accounted for about 30% of total green shipments/receipts, for a total of 93%. A substantial share of the shipments/receipts in these categories was accounted for by recycled, reused and recovered products, waste management, mass transit services, alternative fuel vehicles and hybrids, and green building construction. The environmental assessment category — largely made up of environmental consulting, engineering, monitoring, testing, research, and advocacy services — accounted for only 4% of green shipments/receipts. Renewable/alternative energy production was only 3% of total green shipments/receipts.

As shown in Figure 4, renewable/alternative energy production accounted for a much higher share (13%) of shipments/receipts when using the broad definition. This is because the broad definition includes the relatively large sectors of nuclear electricity generation services and biofuels.

# Figures 5 and 6 present the share of green employment by green activity, using the narrow and broad definition of green products and services. Energy conservation represented the largest share of total green employment, about 45%, under both the narrow and broad definitions. Pollution control was the next largest green activity, accounting for about 30% of green employment. The share of resource conservation and renewable/alternative energy products and services were both slightly higher under the broad definition compared with the narrow definition. Resource conservation products and services constituted 19% of total green employment (compared to 13% using the narrow definition), and renewable/alternative energy was 5% of green employment (compared to 2% using the narrow definition). Environmental assessment’s share of total green employment remained constant at 6% under both the broad and narrow definitions. 41822_MeasureEconpages.qxd 4/15/10 3:35 PM Page17

# V. Trends in Green Manufacturing Industries between 2002 and 2007

We were able to compare product codes for manufacturing in the 2002 and 2007 Economic Censuses. Unfortunately, due to significant changes to the coding, we were unable to compare the codes for the services industries, and therefore present results over time only for the manufacturing sector.

## MEASURING THE GREEN ECONOMY



# Figure 8 shows changes over time in the share of employment in green jobs within manufacturing industries, again showing both the narrow and broad definition of green products. As with shipments, green employment shares within manufacturing remained relatively constant between 2002 and 2007.

For most six-digit NAICS codes that we classified as green, the dollar value of shipments rose between 2002 and 2007 under both the narrow and broad definitions. The increase was larger using the broad definition, which includes many more codes.

However, overall manufacturing shipments rose just as fast, so the share of green shipments was constant. In contrast, in most of these codes, employment declined over this five-year period. Total green employment in manufacturing declined between 2002 and 2007 by 13,000 under the narrow definition and 12,000 under the broad definition. Overall manfacturing employment was declining as well, so the share of green jobs was constant. These trends reflect the fast growth of productivity in the manufacturing sector and the decline in manufacturing employment.

Table 4 shows shipments per worker for green and non-green products in manufacturing in 2002 and 2007. These are nominal amounts, and have not been adjusted for inflation over this five-year period. Although shipments per worker were lower for green products in 2002, the value of shipments grew somewhat faster for green products between 2002 and 2007. Green manufacturing experienced the same trends as the rest of manufacturing over this period, with declining employment occurring along with rising output as production processes became more labor efficient.

## MEASURING THE GREEN ECONOMY



# VI. CONCLUSION

The data used in this report suggest that the green share of the economy in 2007 was a modest 1% to 2% of all private sector economic activity. Using a broad definition of green products did not change the basic picture that suggested that green products and services were a relatively small share of the economy. The highest share of green production occurred in the construction sector, where 3% of receipts were due to green products and services. Only a small share of all green products was in construction.

This report paints a picture of the green economy in 2007. Unfortunately, measuring the change in the green economy since 2007 is not possible using the Economic Census. However, there are several reasons to believe that the green economy may have grown since 2007 and may be poised for future growth. First, consumers, both here and abroad, may be increasing demand for green products and services. Second, energy prices remain at high levels, creating greater financial incentives for firms to develop more energy-efficient products and services.

This Administration has invested heavily in the green economy and will continue to do so. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 authorizes spending $90 billion to promote innovation and growth in green business and green jobs. This report shows the size and composition of the green economy prior to this burst of investment. It provides a starting point for measuring the future growth of green products and services in the United States economy.
