Renewable Energy Sector Provides Millions of Jobs Worldwide

(25 May 2021) The renewable energy sector directly or indirectly employed nearly 11.5 million people in 2019, reflecting a 4% increase over the previous year, according to data from the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA). Renewable energy (RE) employment has risen 34% percent since 2013, adding almost 3 million new jobs to the global economy. The solar photovoltaic (PV), bioenergy, hydropower, and wind power industries have become the biggest employers of the renewable energy sector. China tops the list of the total number of RE jobs per country, leading other major economies by a large margin. Latvia and Denmark are the top countries in terms of RE share in total employment, with renewables representing 3.79% and 1.5% of jobs, respectively, followed by Croatia, Bulgaria, Brazil, Colombia, and Finland.The solar PV industry employed nearly 3.75 million people worldwide as of the end of 2019, the most recent year for which such data is available. Bioenergy provided 3.58 million jobs, of which 2.5 million were in the liquid biofuels subsector. Nearly 1.96 million people were employed in hydropower, and 1.17 million more worked in the wind energy industry.Employment growth was the highest in the solar PV technology industry, which showed a 65% increase from 2013 to 2019 (almost 1.5 million new jobs added). Employment increased significantly during the same period in the solar heating/cooling industry (an increase of 64%), bioenergy (43%), and wind energy (41%). In contrast, hydropower lost nearly 250 thousand jobs, representing an 11% decrease, over the seven-year period.As for geographical distribution, seven of the ten countries with the most renewable energy jobs are Asian. China accounted for 38% of all existing jobs in the RE sector in 2019, which equals more than 4 million workers. Brazil represented 10% of RE jobs, due to its highly developed hydro energy industry that makes up a 64% share of the country's electricity generation. A 7% share of RE jobs were in India, and 6% in the United States.In the US, more than 755 thousand people were employed in the renewable energy sector, compared with 83.8 thousand workers in the fossil fuel generation and transmission sector. According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS),  the number of workers employed in fossil fuel and nuclear electricity generation is expected to decline significantly — by 23.3 thousand and 15.6 thousand jobs, respectively — by 2029. At the same time, the BLS estimates that the number of workers directly employed in renewable electricity generation will grow by 2.7 thousand, to a total of 23.2 thousand people employed, by 2029. NOTE: IRENA's estimates include indirect jobs in manufacturing and jobs in the production of biofuels in addition to the direct jobs count, while the US Bureau of Labor Statistics includes only direct jobs in electric power generation.

Austrian Economics Research Conference 2019

The Austrian Economics Research Conference is the international, interdisciplinary meeting of the Austrian School, bringing together leading scholars doing research in this vibrant and influential intellectual tradition. The conference is hosted by the Mises Institute at its campus in Auburn, Alabama and directed by Joseph Salerno, Professor of Economics at Pace University and Academic Vice President of the Mises Institute. Proposals for individual papers, complete paper sessions or symposia, and interactive workshops are encouraged. Papers should be well developed, but at a stage where they can still benefit from the group's discussion. Preference will be given to recent papers that have not been presented at major conferences. All topics related to Austrian economics, broadly conceived, and related social-science disciplines and business disciplines such as management, strategy, and entrepreneurship are appropriate for the conference. Proposals from junior faculty and PhD students are especially encouraged.  Event Holder: Mises Institute

US Stock Market Gains as Labor Market Improves in May 2020 //pt.knoema.com/yuoafj/us-stock-market-gains-as-labor-market-improves-in-may-2020 2020-06-08T13:57:08Z Nematullah Khan pt.knoema.com://pt.knoema.com/user/1975840
US Stock Market Gains as Labor Market Improves in May 2020

(7 June 2020) The US labor market improved in May as millions of workers returned to work after COVID-19 induced layoffs, sending positive reverberations through the US stock market. The labor market added 2.5 million non-farm jobs in May and the unemployment rate decreased to 13.3 percent* from 14.7 April, remaining higher than in any previous post-war recession. The rate would be still higher if it was able to capture the millions of people who are not working and want a job, perhaps not looking for work because of fears relating to coronavirus.The unemployment rate gains were unequal across racial groups. The rate increased marginally for African Americans to 16.8 percent from 16.7 percent in April, while unemployment for whites declined to 12.4 percent from 14.2 percent in April. The stock market surged on 5 June after the jobs report showed surprising improvement. The S&P 500 index rose 2.62 percent Another major Wall Street index, the tech-heavy Nasdaq composite—including companies like Amazon, Apple and Microsoft—increased 2.06 percent. The Dow Jones Industrial average gained 829 points to 3.15 percent.The US government has injected around $3 trillion into the economy to mitigate the impact of  the COVID-19 pandemic. The stimulus has been one of the key drivers behind the stock market recovery from its March lows.   * The Bureau of Labor Statistics, responsible for the monthly jobs reports, said it is working to fix a “misclassification error” and the “overall unemployment rate would have been about 3 percentage points higher than reported,” meaning the US unemployment rate for May is expected to be about 16.3 percent.

United States: Labor Market Overview, April 2020

(31 May 2020)  The US economy lost 20.5 million non-farm jobs in April, as COVID-19 shutdown the economy and the labor marketing, leading the unemployment rate to skyrocket 14.7 percent, the largest drop in employment since the government started capturing the data. The jobs lost and unemployment rate figures were below the Dow Jones Survey’s expectations of 21.5 million and 16 percent, respectively. To put these figures into perspective, the unemployment rate in April was higher than the post WWII figure of 10.8 percent and the financial crisis peak of 10 percent in October 2009. The rate is, however, still less than experienced during the  Great Depression, estimated at 24.9 percent.   Unemployment Rate by Race The US unemployment rate in April was highest for Hispanics (18.9%), followed by African Americans (16.7%), Asians (14.5%), and whites (14.2%).   Unemployment Rate by Gender The unemployment rate in April for women (16.2%) was nearly three points higher than for men (13.5%), reflecting the prevalence of women in hard-hit hospitality and retail jobs. This was the highest recorded unemployment gap between men and women, followed by the global financial crisis of 2008-2009 during which it was men facing the higher unemployment rates.

Progress Towards Europe 2020 Headline Targets: Employment

In 2008, the employment rate in the EU for the age group 20 to 64 peaked at 70.3%, after a period of steady increase. In the following years, employment trends reversed as a result of the unfavourable effect of the economic crisis on the European labour market. In 2009, the employment rate fell to 69.0% and has remained consistently low since 2010. In 2014, the rate slightly increased to 69.2%, marking a deviation of 5.8 percentage points from the Europe 2020 target of increasing the employment rate of the population aged 20 to 64 to at least 75%.
