green jobs

While the manufacturing landscape has changed in New York City over the last 40 years, local industry continues to be a vital economic contributor by supplying goods and services to the city's other sectors as well as providing good jobs for residents. These small local manufacturers are responding to growing consumer demand by adapting their product lines and/or developing new goods and services to be sold in the green economy. As a result of these transitions, there is a particular opportunity to expand and create jobs in the 'building products' sub-sector and within the manufacture of products that promote energy efficiency.
