Hiring in green sector booms as oil, gas industry bleeds

Renewables are powering a rare vibrant spot in the energy business, with record job employing in solar, wind as well as hydro partly offsetting the greatest round of job deficits in the oil and gas sector within almost two decades.

The growth in new green work is being led by Asian countries where governments in nations such as China and Indian are embarking on massive programs to use more renewable energy.

The new opportunities come as the essential oil sector is suffering the worst downturn since the later 1990s, encouraging engineering college students to rethink their choices and even mid-career switches for a few who have spent more than a decade within the oil sector.
