Here are the top 10 cities for green jobs (per job aggregator Simply Hired in 2012) and the top 10 states for new clean energy jobs (using 2015 data). In the first three quarters of 2015, Environmental Entrepreneurs counted 30,000 new clean energy jobs. For an interactive, state-level look, see cleanenergyworksforus.org.
