Are you a recent graduate, recently lost your job or otherwise unemployed and in search of your next opportunity? You should consider joining the green –collar workforce. Green-collar jobs help do more than save the environment; they offer a living wage and opportunities for advancement. According to Green for All, (www.greenforall.org) green collar jobs not only rebuild a strong middle class by paying family wages and providing opportunities for advancement, but also provide pathways out of poverty because they often require less than a four-year degree making them well within reach for lower-skilled and low-income workers as long as they have access to effective training programs and appropriate supports. If you think that a green-collar job may be the way for you to go, check out these local resources: Your local One-Stop Career Center You can also check out these job boards that focus on social or environmental responsibility. Good luck with your job search! Go forth and save the world! ☺ Tags: Business, employment, green-collar
