The Green Collar Jobs Council's report from December 2012 outlines strategies for maximizing job creation and addressing inequality in California through energy efficiency and clean energy programs, such as Prop 39. The report highlights the need to consider the quantity and quality of jobs generated, as well as access to these jobs for targeted groups such as youth, veterans, women, and disadvantaged workers. The council recommends clear skill certifications and performance standards for workers and contractors to ensure good jobs and successful energy goals. The report also emphasizes the importance of matching Prop 39 funds with private investment to increase the number of jobs created.
