This article analyzes data representing over 130 million workers leaving carbon-intensive (dirty) jobs and moving to noncarbon-intensive (green) ones. Key findings include 1) In recent years, fewer than 1% of workers who leave dirty jobs move into green industries, 2) Young workers are more likely to transition from dirty to green jobs, and 3) Workers in dirty jobs are most likely to transition to jobs in the same sector (other dirty industries), primarily due to lack of green job opportunities.
