Arizona added more than 2,300 clean-energy industry jobs last year, falling just shy of the state’s pre-pandemic employment levels but matching the nation for job growth in the sector.
PHOENIX — Arizona added more than 2,300 clean-energy industry jobs last year, falling just shy of the state’s pre-pandemic employment levels but matching the nation for job growth in the sector, a new report said.
“Actually a lot of states haven’t” returned to 2019 employment levels, said Michael Timberlake, communications director for E2. “It’s about 50-50 on states that have fully surpassed their pre-COVID numbers.” “And then obviously, the people you know, getting people back to work … a lot of that was just the whole industry getting back on track,” he said.
“I think, unsurprisingly, Arizona has a very high percentage of solar energy jobs,” Timberlake said of the 9,627 solar-power jobs in the state in 2022. That was the sixth-highest among states. “We’ve been very, very successful in recruiting new companies and new industries outside of clean energy, in addition to clean energy,” Mellor said, citing the growth of semiconductor and health care jobs in the state.
