I am sharing this energy job report.
It says the U.S. energy sector employed 8.5 million workers in 2024, accounting for 5.4% of all U.S. jobs, and is showing that energy remains a major source of stable, high-paying work across the country.
The report’s key points are that energy jobs exist in every state.
The largest employment areas were:
- Energy Efficiency (2.38 million)
- Transmission, Distribution, and Storage (1.46 million),
- Fuels (1.05 million),
- Electric Power Generation (933,800);
- Texas, California, and Michigan had the most energy jobs overall; and the 2025 edition newly adds more detailed data on wages, benefits, occupations, and state-level trends to give a fuller picture of the U.S. energy workforce.
