Last year the US Conference of Mayors released a green jobs report wherein they estimated that in 2006 there were approximately 750,000 green collar jobs in the US (using a similar definition to the one above). Over half of those jobs were in engineering, legal, research and consulting and the second largest category was renewable power generation. The report also found that the jobs were spread across the country, although 85% were in metro areas. The top cities for green collar jobs were: New York (25,021), Washington DC (24,287), Houston (21,250), Los Angeles (20,136) and Boston (19,799).
