I found this article pretty interesting. It seems like California will be shorthanded when it comes to green-collar jobs according to corporate and government leaders at a summit on Monday. As we continue to implement solar panels and renewable energy, there does not seem to be enough people doing the actual installation of the panels and workers to implement those systems. California schools will soon have more programs that will cater to this industry such as the PowerPathway program that guarantees graduates a job afterwards. It is good news for providing jobs in this state and will probably encourage more people to come to California. The alternative energy industry has been creating a lot of buzz as plenty of companies are growing or starting up in the bay area and it looks like things will continue getting better. Hopefully the stock market will pick up soon as many fear a recession is happening. Being election year, things will surely turn around as the year continues.
