Biodiesel, Ethanol & Wind Lead Energy Jobs in Iowa
Posted on December 11, 2014 by John Davis
Biodiesel, ethanol, wind and energy efficiency are the leaders in a
survey on job growth in advanced energy in Iowa. This news release from
the Advanced Energy Economy Institute says those industries employ more
than 22,000 people.
Prepared by BW Research Partnership, a leading workforce and economic
development research firm, the Iowa Advanced Energy Employment Survey
report is available at http://info.aee.net/ia-jobs-report-14. The AEE
Institute published a similar report on California’s advanced energy
industry, California Advanced Energy Employment Survey, last week, which
is available at http://info.aee.net/ca-jobs-report-14.
Advanced energy comprises a significant part of Iowa’s economy,
employing 1.3 percent of Iowa’s total workforce. Employment in advanced
energy-related businesses is greater than employment reported for crop
production, general freight trucking, and animal production in Iowa.
“In states from coast to coast and in between, the advanced energy
industry is substantial and growing,” said Graham Richard, CEO of AEE
and the AEE Institute. “This first-ever survey of advanced energy firms
in Iowa shows that energy efficiency, biofuels, wind power, and other
advanced businesses are creating jobs and contributing to the Iowa economy.”
While advanced energy jobs in Iowa dropped by 4 percent from 2013, the
survey shows advanced energy employment is expected to rise 6 percent in
the coming year.
