  • Solar jobs include workers who spend 50% or more of their time on solar-related work, also refer to as "majority-time" solar workers. This fact sheet provides a second figure for solar workers who spend 0-100% of their time on solar-related work, known as "Solar Jobs (All)".
  • For all other clean energy industries, workers are assigned a job category based on where they spend the most of their time. For example, if a worker spends 30% of the time on clean storage and 20% of the time on solar, that job is classified as clean storage.
