Whether you are listening to the gubernatorial candidates on the campaign trail, the anchors on TV, or your next door neighbors, everyone is talking about jobs. In our recovering economy, what fields should we look to? Where is the future of the job market going? We’re thinking green-tech and high-tech are great up-and-coming fields for job creation.
Green-Tech Jobs: This field combines solutions for both our economic and environmental needs. Wisconsin is making great strides in renewable technologies such as biofuels and wind energy.
High-Tech Jobs: With technology rapidly evolving, we can look forward to more jobs in this innovative field. Those skilled in science, math, and other technical areas can excel in high-tech jobs. This field develops new technologies that make our world safer, healthier, and more efficient.
Times are tough right now, but we’re optimistic that modern fields will facilitate job creation—after all we’re Wisconsinites, always looking forward.
You are doing it wrong.

We need to be focused on creating good technology and constantly improving our technology skills.
We need to protect the environment, but the "green jobs" part of it is a political slogan.
They key is creating goods and services that people want while minimizing damage to the environment. Technology is a big part of that, so Wisconsin needs to be really good at it.
When people who want to keep polluting wrongly say we must choose between "jobs" or the environment, politicians can respond with this "green jobs" bit. We would be wise to ignore such a debate. The important thing is creating services/goods that people want, which in the modern economy means creating and employing technology.
