Wind Technician - The Fastest-Growing Job in America
The U.S. clean energy sector is experiencing unprecedented growth, with wind turbine technician emerging as the fastest-growing job in the country. In 2023 alone, clean energy jobs surged by 4.2%—more than twice the national average—adding 142,000 new positions nationwide. Since the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) was passed in August 2022, nearly $500 billion has been invested in clean energy technologies, generating over 334,000 new jobs and driving $5-$6 in private investment for every federal dollar spent.
These new roles are not just numerous—they’re accessible, offering wages 21% higher than the national average and often not requiring a four-year degree. This clean energy boom is also reaching communities in need, with 81% of investments directed to counties with below-average wages, fostering economic mobility and creating high-quality jobs for thousands of Americans.
At Empire Energy Offshore, our work in offshore wind projects and infrastructure development is paving the way for future employment opportunities in this thriving sector.
With union jobs on the rise and energy efficiency initiatives supporting nearly 2.3 million jobs in 2023, the future of work in America is increasingly green and sustainable. Empire Energy Offshore is proud to play a role in this growth, helping to ensure that the clean energy transition delivers lasting value for workers, communities, and the planet.
