White House announces Green Jobs Act
Sun, 02/03/2008 - 13:10 — admin
Washington, DC (December 19, 2007)- President Bush signed the Green Jobs Act of 2007, authorizing $125 million for green job training programs across the country. The Green Jobs Act is part of the Energy Bill. For the first time in history, we have a U.S. law that addresses both the climate crisis and the poverty crisis by investing in green-collar job training. The Green Jobs Act authorizes $125 million annually for greening the nation's workforce, enough for training up to 35,000 people every year. Even more unprecedented, it allocates $25 million for "green pathways out of poverty" programs- like the Oakland Green Jobs Corps.
