(NOTE: This release was reissued on March 22, 2012 to correct the first paragraph in the GGS Scope 

section. The first sentence should have read, “The GGS scope contained 25,513,300 jobs, or 20.0 

percent of the nation's total employment.” None of the tables were affected by this error.)

EMPLOYMENT IN GREEN GOODS AND SERVICES - 2010 

In 2010, 3.1 million jobs in the United States were associated with the production of green goods and 

services, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Green Goods and Services (GGS) jobs are 

found in businesses that produce goods and provide services that benefit the environment or conserve 

natural resources. GGS jobs accounted for 2.4 percent of total employment in 2010. The private sector 

had 2.3 million GGS jobs and the public sector had 860,300. Manufacturing had 461,800 GGS jobs, the 

most among any private sector industry. (See table 1.) 

Among the states, California had the largest number of GGS jobs (338,400), accounting for 2.3 percent 

of employment in the state. Vermont had the highest proportion of GGS employment at 4.4 percent; the 

District of Columbia had the second highest at 3.9 percent. (See table 4.) 

The GGS employment data are compiled through the Green Goods and Services survey under the 

Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW) program. The GGS survey includes 

approximately 120,000 business and government establishments within 333 industries that are identified 

as potentially producing green goods or providing green services. Establishments in the sample report 

whether they produced green goods and services and the percentage of their revenue or employment 

associated with that output. Those percentages are multiplied by their employment to derive the number 

of GGS jobs for the establishment. More information about the survey is provided in the Technical Note.

Private Industry 

The private sector had 2,268,800 total GGS jobs in 2010. The manufacturing industry had the greatest 

number of GGS private jobs (461,800). (See table A.) These jobs were 4.0 percent of manufacturing 

employment. Examples of green goods and services produced by manufacturing industries include iron 

and steel from recycled inputs, air conditioning and refrigeration equipment meeting selected standards, 

hybrid cars and parts, and pollution mitigation equipment. 

Construction had 372,100 GGS jobs, comprising 6.8 percent of construction employment. Among the 

GGS activities performed within this industry are the construction of plants that produce energy from 

renewable sources and weatherizing and retrofitting projects that reduce household energy consumption. 

Professional, scientific, and technical services had 349,000 GGS jobs, accounting for 4.7 percent of the 

industry’s employment. Industries within professional, scientific, and technical services that have GGS 

output include engineering and architectural services, computer systems design, and management and 

consulting services. 

Administrative and waste services accounted for 319,900 GGS jobs, 4.3 percent of industry 

employment. Waste collection and remediation services are examples of GGS services within 

administrative and waste services.

Utilities 

In private industry, the utilities industry accounted for 65,700 GGS jobs, or 11.9 percent of total private 

utilities employment. Among the industries involved in private sector electric power generation, nuclear 

power had the highest GGS employment with 35,800 jobs in 2010. Hydroelectric power generation had 

3,700 total private GGS jobs in 2010. (See tables 2 and 3.) 

The other electric power generation industry, which includes electricity generated from biomass, 

sunlight, wind, and other renewable sources, had 4,700 GGS private sector jobs. Within this industry, 

electricity generated from wind had the highest employment with 2,200 jobs, followed by biomass with 

1,100 jobs, geothermal with 600 jobs, and solar with 400 jobs.

Government 

The public sector had 860,300 GGS jobs in 2010, or 4.0 percent of public sector employment. Local 

government had the largest portion of GGS employment in the public sector, with 476,500 GGS jobs 

representing 3.4 percent of total local government employment. The transportation and warehousing 

sector, which encompasses mass transit systems, had the largest GGS employment in local government 

with 228,900 GGS jobs. (See table 2.) 

State government had 227,100 GGS jobs accounting for 4.9 percent of state government employment. 

The public administration sector was the largest industry in state government, having 141,700 GGS jobs 

in 2010. This industry includes the enforcement of environmental regulations and the administration of 

environmental programs. 

The federal government had 156,700 GGS jobs representing 5.3 percent of federal government 

employment. As was the case with state government, most GGS jobs in federal government were in the 

public administration sector, which had 128,300 jobs. The leisure and hospitality sector, which includes 

national parks, had the second largest GGS employment in federal government with 13,500 jobs.

District of Columbia had the next highest proportion of its employment in GGS jobs (3.9 percent). 

Background 

Definition

The BLS green jobs definition contains two components, an output-based approach and a process-based 

approach. Output-based jobs are jobs associated with producing goods or providing services that benefit 

the environment or conserve natural resources. Process-based jobs are jobs in which workers' duties 

involve making their establishment's production processes more environmentally friendly or use fewer 

natural resources. 

This news release covers the output approach only. The process approach data will be released later this 

year. 

The output based approach estimates the number of jobs associated with producing green goods or 

providing green services. The BLS output definition of GGS employment does not include workers from 

all industries. BLS identified 333 industries from the 1,193 detailed industries in the 2007 North 

American Industry Classification System (NAICS) that potentially provide goods and services that 

directly benefit the environment or conserve natural resources. These 333 industries, the GGS scope, 

consist of industries that may produce green goods and services within one or more of the following five 

groups: 

1. Energy from renewable sources. 

2. Energy efficiency equipment, appliances, buildings and vehicles, and goods and services that 

improve the energy efficiency of buildings and the efficiency of energy storage and distribution. 

3. Pollution reduction and removal, greenhouse gas reduction, and recycling and reuse goods and 

services. 

4. Organic agriculture; sustainable forestry; and soil, water, and wildlife conservation.

5. Governmental and regulatory administration; and education, training, and advocacy goods and 

services.

The GGS scope was identified by BLS after consultations with industry groups, government agencies, 

stakeholders, and the public, which helped BLS identify industries that potentially provide green goods 

or services. Not every activity or product in the industries within the GGS scope is considered green. An 

establishment classified in one of these 333 NAICS industries may produce only green goods, both 

green and non-green goods, or only non-green goods. Only the employment associated with the 

production of green goods and services within these selected industries is counted as GGS jobs. BLS 

recognizes that establishments producing green goods and services may fall outside of the GGS scope, 

and the associated employment will not be counted in the GGS survey results. 

GGS Scope

The GGS scope contained 25,513,300 jobs, or 20.0 percent of the nation's total employment. Of these 

jobs, GGS estimates that 3,129,100 jobs, or 2.4 percent of total employment, were related to producing 

goods and services that met the BLS GGS definition. (For more information regarding the GGS 

definition and methodology, please see the Technical Note.)

Data Presentation 

Data includes GGS employment, GGS employment percentage, and total QCEW employment by 

industry and state. The total employment levels are from the Quarterly Census of Employment and 

Wages (QCEW). The QCEW includes all businesses with employees covered by state or federal 

unemployment insurance, which is approximately 95.3 percent of civilian wage and salary employment 

in the U.S.

Technical Note

This release presents statistics from the Green 

Goods and Services program (GGS). GGS employment level and rate estimates are published by state, 

ownership, and industry. Data for GGS are collected 

and compiled by the Bureau of Labor Statistics from 

a sample of business and government establishments 

in selected industries with workers covered by state 

and federal unemployment insurance (UI) legislation 

provided by State Workforce Agencies (SWAs). 

Collection 

In an annual survey of business establishments, 

data are collected for employment, fiscal year, and 

the share of revenue or employment associated with 

production of green goods or services at the establishment level. Data collection methods include mail, 

computer-assisted telephone interviewing, web, and 

fax. 

Coverage 

BLS sampled from 333 North American Industrial 

Classification System (NAICS) industries identified 

as potential producers or providers of green goods 

and services. The GGS survey covers all private 

establishments in these industries, such as factories, 

offices, and stores, as well as federal, state, and local 

government entities in the 50 states and the District 

of Columbia. For a list of these industries, please 

refer to the GGS Web site at www.bls.gov/ggs. 

Concepts 

Green Goods and Services. Green goods and 

services are defined as goods and services produced 

by an establishment that benefit the environment or 

conserve natural resources. Green goods and services 

fall into one or more of the following five groups: (1) 

production of energy from renewable sources; (2) 

energy efficiency; (3) pollution reduction and removal, greenhouse gas reduction, and recycling and 

reuse; (4) natural resources conservation; and (5) 

environmental compliance, education and training, 

and public awareness. 

 Industry classification. The industry classifications in this release are in accordance with the 2007

version of the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). Only the 333 industries identified by BLS as producing green goods and providing green services are included in the scope of the 

GGS survey. To ensure the highest possible quality 

of data, the Quarterly Census of Employment and 

Wages (QCEW) program verifies with employers 

and updates, if necessary, the NAICS code, location, 

and ownership classification of all establishments on 

a 3-year cycle. Changes in establishment characteristics resulting from the verification process are annually introduced into the GGS sampling frame. 

Green Goods and Services jobs. GGS jobs are 

those associated with producing green goods or

providing green services. Some businesses produce 

multiple products and services where one or more 

may be included in the BLS definition. For these 

cases, BLS determined from prior research that 

businesses often have difficulty providing employment associated with the production of green goods 

and services, while information on the revenue from 

the sale of the green goods or services is more readily available and less burdensome for the respondent 

to provide. The percentage of the establishment’s 

revenue related to sale of green goods and services is

used to estimate GGS jobs, which are defined as 

employment related to the production of green goods 

and services at the establishment level. Sampled 

establishments that do not generate revenue are 

asked to report the share of their employment involved with the production of green goods and 

services. For example, employment related to research and development, non-profit organizations, 

government agencies, and new businesses may 

provide green goods and services without generating 

income. 

 Employment. Employment includes persons on 

the payroll who worked or received pay for the pay 

period that includes the twelfth day of the reference 
month. Full-time, part-time, permanent, short-term, 

seasonal, salaried, and hourly employees are included, as are employees on paid vacations or other 

paid leave. Proprietors or partners of unincorporated 

businesses, unpaid family workers, or persons on 

leave without pay or on strike for the entire pay 

period, are not counted as employed. Employees of 

temporary help agencies, employee leasing companies, outside contractors, and consultants are counted 

by their employer of record, not by the establishment 

where they are working. The monthly employment 

figure provided by respondents will be compared to 

employment data BLS has on file as part of the 

QCEW program, which comprise BLS’ business 

register, in order to verify that data are being collected for the correct establishment. 

 Estimates. Estimates of GGS employment and 

GGS percent of total QCEW employment are released with the annual GGS news release.

Sample and estimation methodology 

Sample. BLS selects approximately 120,000 GGS 

establishments per year from the Quarterly Census of 

Employment and Wages (QCEW) program. This 

program includes all employers subject to state 

Unemployment Insurance (UI) laws and federal 

agencies subject to Unemployment Compensation 

for Federal Employees (UCFE). Most of these establishments are selected from the second quarter 

QCEW sample frame, while a small sample of new 

business establishments is selected from the third and 

fourth quarters. The sample is designed to estimate 

GGS employment at both national industry and state 

industry sector levels of detail. 

 Beginning in the second year of collection, the GGS 

sample will be divided into three panels, each containing approximately 40,000 sample units. Two of 

the three panel samples will overlap with the previous year’s sample to produce estimates of change 

in green employment. The panel that does not overlap will have a new sample allocated and selected. 

Estimation. A Horvitz-Thompson estimator is 

used to estimate GGS employment. 

GGS percentage estimates are relative to the 

QCEW employment of all industries contained 

within a particular estimation cell’s NAICS code, not 

just the 333 industries included in the GGS scope. 

For GGS employment percentages, the estimate of 

GGS employment is divided by the 12-month average of QCEW employment over the reference period. 

Reliability. GGS estimates are subject to both 

sampling and nonsampling error. Sampling error 

arises from selecting a sample of establishments 

rather than the entire business population. To measure this error, GGS uses a balanced repeated replication technique to calculate standard errors. 

At the typical 90% level of confidence used in 

BLS analyses, there is approximately a 90% chance 

that GGS sample-based estimates of GGS employment will not differ from the true population totals 

by more than 1.645 standard errors. Thus, GGS 

calculates the width of its 90% confidence interval 

for total GGS employment as 1.645 multiplied by the 

standard error. The confidence interval width of the 

total GGS employment estimate is approximately 

56,000. 

There is about a 90% chance that the true population total of GGS employment falls within 56,000 of 

the GGS estimate. For the estimate of total green 

percentage, there is about a 90% chance that the 

GGS estimate is within 0.03%.

Nonsampling error arises from various sources, 

such as establishments failing to respond or misreporting data, coding and data processing errors and 

sample coverage. Since GGS only samples establishments in 333 industries predetermined to potentially have GGS employment, any green goods and 

services produced or provided in other industries is 

not captured. GGS is also subject to errors in the 
sampling frame, in which some establishments’

industry codes may be misclassified. 

Specialized Procedures. GGS sampling methodology is coordinated with the Occupational Employment Statistics survey. Sampling overlap between the two surveys is maximized for additional 

inference to be made about green staffing patterns. 

Such inferences are not included as part of this GGS 

release.

1 North American Industry Classification System, 2007.2 GGS employment is the number of jobs related to the production of Green Goods and Services.3 GGS percent is the percentage of the GGS employment compared to the total employment. This value is derived by dividing the GGS employment by the total employment.4 Source: Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW) 2010 annual average.5 Industries may not add to total because of unclassified employment in the QCEW. The unclassified NAICS sector is not shown separately, but it is included in the total.6 Data do not meet BLS disclosure standards.7 No government establishments are classified in this industry.8 No private sector establishments are classified in this industry.NOTE: Data may not add to total or sub-total due to rounding.
