Green Goods and Services Occupations (GGS-OCC)
The Occupational Employment and Wages in Green Goods and Services (GGS-OCC) program provides occupational employment and wage information for businesses that produce green goods and services. The GGS-OCC data consist of occupational employment, staffing patterns, and occupational wages for establishments that receive none of their revenue from green goods and services, all of their revenue from green goods and services, and revenue from a mix of green and nongreen goods and services.
Announcement
Elimination of the Green Goods and Services Occupations program
On March 1, 2013, President Obama ordered into effect the across-the-board spending cuts (commonly referred to as sequestration) required by the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act, as amended. Under the order, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) must cut its current budget by more than $30 million, about 5 percent of the current 2013 appropriation, by September 30, 2013. In order to achieve these savings and protect core programs, the BLS will eliminate two programs and all "measuring green jobs" products. These products include: data on employment by industry and occupation for businesses that produce green goods and services; data on the occupations and wages of jobs related to green technologies and practices; and green career information publications. Please see http://www.bls.gov/bls/sequester_info.htm for more information regarding the sequestration at BLS.
September 28, 2012
Establishments that received all of their revenue from green goods and services had 539,470
transportation and material moving jobs, 208,180 production jobs, and 194,440 office and
administrative support jobs in November 2011.
