Where Did All The ‘Green’ Jobs Go?
UK Energy Minister, Michael Shanks’, claims last week that scrapping ‘net zero’, as Nigel Farage proposed, would cost a million jobs, were soon shown to be a fantasy when the Office for National Statistics (ONS) published its own analysis of ‘green’ jobs the day after
As usual they padded out the numbers to make it sound impressive, ending up with a total of 690,000.
However the vast majority were jobs which have been around for decades and have nothing to do with ‘net zero’ – waste, forestry, water, energy efficiency and so on:
Amazingly there are more jobs in environmental bureaucracy than there are in the whole of the ‘renewable’ sector, which employs 77,800.
Two thirds of the total have been around for years, as mentioned above. Another 48,000 are simply rebadged – for instance, where carmakers switch from making petrol cars to electric ones.
But it is those 88,100 jobs in the ‘green’ bureaucracy that really stand out – environmental charities, consultants, education, civil servants and in house pen pushers.
All the hangers on that you and me have to pay for one way or another.
If Reform get rid of them, we should all raise a toast!
