In October Clean Edge published the Clean Tech Job Trends 2009 report which provides an in-depth analysis of the major trends facing clean-tech employment. Included in the report is a comprehensive salary survey conducted in collaboration with PayScale, Inc., a leader in online compensation data. We asked Dr. Salary and the PayScale team to explain the top five key insights that were uncovered through the compensation analysis.

Clean Edge’s new clean-tech jobs map highlights the regional and sector diversity of the transition to a clean-tech economy. The map is the latest addition to Clean Edge Jobs (jobs.cleanedge.com) – a leading online jobs board for clean-tech job seekers, employers, and recruiters.
Clean-tech job seekers now have the ability to search a map for current openings at leading clean-tech companies like SolarCity, OPOWER, Calera, Conergy, Ecos, and Nexant.
