The Clyde Metro public transport investment could support the employment of 250,000 people in a year
The potential job projections have been published in a report by consultants titled the economic analysis of Glasgow’s Green Deal.
Other green industry estimated to generate work includes the installation of renewable energy measures such as solar panels on council property, which could support up to 400 jobs over the investment lifetime. The construction of a new material recycling facility could lead to 340 jobs in a year – but the move may also see some roles outside the region.
Other issues include the “functioning of the local labour market; and the extent to which there is a skills match between the jobs associated with the Green Deal and the skills of those in the local labour force.”
