Dec 11 -- The The Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Energy Jobs invites public comment by February 9, 2024 on a revision of the United States Energy and Employment Report.
Based on surveys of tens of thousands of U.S. energy sector employers, the U.S. Energy and Employment Report (USEER) is a comprehensive summary of national and state-level energy jobs, reporting by industry, technology, and region with data on unionization rates, demographics, and employer perspectives on growth and hiring. The USEER began in 2016 to better track and understand employment within key energy sectors that have been difficult to follow using other publicly available data sources. The study combines surveys of businesses with public labor data to produce estimates of employment and workforce characteristics. The report also provides demographic data that can help companies as well as federal, state, and local groups better understand workforce trends and shed light on opportunities for workforce recruitment and training programs to build a more representative workforce.
The rapidly changing nature of energy production, distribution, and consumption throughout the U.S. economy is having a dramatic impact on job creation and economic competitiveness, but is inadequately understood and, in some cases, incompletely measured by traditional labor market tools. The U.S. Energy and Employment Report Survey collects data from in-scope industries and then quantifies and qualifies employment energy activities, workforce demographics and the industry's perception on the difficulty of recruiting qualified workers. The data is used to generate an annual U.S. Energy and Employment Report. This revision to the data collection will provide more targeted insight on the construction sector for energy manufacturing and infrastructure as well as Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
