The green economy is at our fingertips. According to a new report released yesterday, the potential for green job creation is higher than we ever suspected. We have the potential to create 130,000 jobs in New York and 2 million jobs across America in just 2 years! New York is ready for the green economy and tonight we’re going to learn all about our workforce development plan.
