From NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Paul Homewood<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the ONS, the number of green jobs in the UK rose from 507,000 in 2015 to 526,000 in 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most of these are jobs that have traditionally existed, such as waste collection, forestry management, water and wider environmental activities. There are also 53500 non-jobs such as consultancy, charities and management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When we strip these out, the jobs total rises from 168,000 to 179,000. Hardly earth shattering!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Low Carbon Transport is a bit of a cheat anyway, as jobs created in building EVs, for instance, have merely switched from building ICEs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two thirds of the jobs are involved in \u201cEnergy Efficient Products\u201d, whatever that may mean. I suspect that these are just normal manufacturing jobs which have been relabelled as green.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Either way the number of manufacturing jobs already lost added to the ones which will be in future thanks to Net Zero will dwarf this handful of new green jobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
