Recently the buzz word among people around the globe is ''green''. Going green is now not just a phrase, but a lifestyle for many people as they try to find ways to lessen their impact on the earth and its natural resources. As much as ''green'' is in the home, and in people's everyday life, is it making an impact in the business world? Are there Green-Collar Jobs? What would be considered a Green-Collar Job?

Championed by many politicians on both sides of the aisle, new incentives, and regulations, have been promised to companies that will begin to make room for Green-Collar Jobs. The only question so far is whether or not companies, especially the major companies, will take these incentives and actually make room for executive level Green-Collar managers?
Are There Green Jobs?
The current administration has promised over $150 billion over ten years to create this type of executive level jobs whose sole purpose will be to bring about changes in the company to limit the use of natural resources, clean up their current ecological practices, and decrease their current levels of pollution. The problem is that not a lot of businesses and CEO's are jumping into the whole Green-Collar Job hype as of yet.
Some companies have started to put some green practices into place, but specific jobs have not begun to surface as of yet. Recruiters are saying that they don't foresee a large influx of requests for Green Executives. However, they are saying that with some of the money that the government has already released for green incentives, companies are retraining their current executives in conservation, and green practices.
What Is A Green Job?
While the concept of a Green-Collar Job is real, just what exactly does a Green Executive do? According to some a Green-Collar job would be a position within a company whose job will be to find ways to put America on the path to a cleaner, energy efficient existence.
Companies that are already producing green products, such as solar panels and wind turbines could have Green-Collar jobs already. They are hiring a lot of new employees today, but are these really green jobs? Is there a difference between an assembly worker at a factory that makes wind turbines and an assembly worker at a computer manufacturer? In the present, green jobs are not requiring any special or different training. In fact, there isn't any real ''jobs'' being created. However, the aspect, or the thought, of doing things in a green way is what is making the difference.
Blue To Green
With all the federal regulations, and even future proposals of billions in incentives and upgrades, the most likely turn of events is that the normal Blue-Collar Job will become a Green-Collar Job because of education, regulations, and a move towards more conservation on the part of major companies. In fact, it is being said among many that the biggest winners of the ''going green'' incentives are the educational entities that have begun, and will continue to be created, that will teach workers how to use green practices in their work environments.
