Join us on Wednesday, January 31, 2024, from 1:00–2:00 PM ET as the National Energy Technology Laboratory’s Regional Workforce Initiative (NETL RWFI) presents the results of the 2023 USEER from Betony Jones, the Director of the Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Energy Jobs.  

Webinar Abstract: 

The energy sector added nearly 300,000 jobs in one year, increasing from 7.8 million total energy jobs in 2021 to more than 8.1 million in 2022. Though women are underrepresented in the U.S. energy sector, they made up more than half of the new workers in 2022. Learn the types and locations of these energy jobs at our 2023 U.S. Energy and Employment Report (USEER) webinar briefing.  

While registration is free, there is a participant limit. This webinar reaches maximum registration every year, so please sign up as soon as possible! REGISTER BY CLICKING HERE TODAY! As always, feel free to share this invitation with anyone in your organization that you think would benefit. 

You will also learn about the current state of the energy and advanced manufacturing workforce for the tri-state (Pennsylvania, Ohio, and West Virginia) and the broader Appalachian region, as well as emerging national trends and national energy jobs data.  

Registration is free but limited. 

The USEER was first published in 2016 by the DOE, and the 2023 report represents the 8th installment of the series. The purpose of the USEER series is to provide a comprehensive overview of the energy labor market, informing policymakers and stakeholders on the importance of the energy sector as a job creation engine in the U.S. economy.
