Green Jobs Regional Landscape
Cincinnati Regional Chamber’s Center for Research and Data Unveils New Report on Green Workforce in Collaboration with Co-op Cincy and the City of Cincinnati’s Office of Environment & Sustainability. This comprehensive study offers an in-depth exploration of green jobs in the Greater Cincinnati region, projecting job creation, economic impact, and the workforce needed to support sustainability efforts in line with the 2023 Green Cincinnati Plan.
Commissioned by Co-op Cincy, the report aims to provide a clear view of the region’s green jobs landscape, with a particular focus on job quality, education, skills, work experience, gaps, and workforce barriers. The City of Cincinnati provided a grant match to Co-op Cincy to co-fund this report.
