Enigin Update - Jobs and Economic Growth from the Energy Efficiency Industry
The U.S. National Association of Energy Service Companies (NAESCO) Executive Director, Terry E. Singer highlighted the benefits the industry brings to the country ahead of its annual conference this week.
"At a time when Congress is debating the best way to support job creation, the energy-efficiency industry is one of the only industries to grow during the recession, hiring people at a time when unemployment seems stubbornly stuck at levels not seen since the early 1980s,” Singer said.
Referring to California, where the conference is to be held this week, Singer commented: "In California, efficiency companies are a boon to the state's economy. Even during the economic downtown, the energy efficiency industry has continued to hire.
"The clean energy industry currently employs 432,840 people in California and was one of the only industries to grow during the recession - expanding three times the growth of overall employment around the state.
"The energy efficiency industry's vibrant economic growth didn't develop accidentally, a combination of smart policies, investments in new technology and private/public partnerships have all been integral to building this new economic powerhouse."
Enigin Distributors can testify to the benefits to their local economies from their efforts in adding to the energy efficiency industry, as they see ever growing interest in their services along with the installation of products and systems from Enigin.
