TODAY
Finished Urban Agenda GCJs report. Went through it very slowly. :(
TOMORROW
Organize a memo and write synthesis of what I have learned so far. Think about section headings for types of "initiatives", like:
1a. Subsidized training programs
1b. Non-subsidized training programs
2a. Environmental initiatives, with job awareness
2b. Environmental initiatives, without job awareness
3. Policies/government projects/advisory councils
4. Service programs
Include discussion of existence of green collar jobs whenever an environmental initiative is carried out, even if jobs aren't explicit purpose. What does including job requirements in policy do? What kind of requirements should be included (e.g., training programs, pay/benefit requirements, type of individual recruited, union, etc.)? Need for demand for workers and supply of workers to match.
Questions to ask about environmental policies:
Will U.S. jobs be created, and if so, how many?
What kinds of jobs will be created (type, pay/benefits, union, education/experience necessary)?
Who will get the jobs?
Discuss who is studying green jobs and what kinds of reports are available.
