Energy construction saw healthy growth in 2022, generating more than 45,000 jobs and making up the second-fastest rising component of energy sector employment, said the latest U.S. Dept. of Energy jobs report—with 300,000 positions created overall last year for a 3.8% increase.
According to DOE's 2022 United States Energy and Employment Report, significant gains were made in several areas in energy construction last year, with the majority of new workers employed in energy efficiency work, an area where 23,729 new jobs were created, the report states.
