<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>As governments worldwide increase their commitments to tackle climate change\, low-carbon jobs are expected to grow rapidly. We provide evidence on the characteristics of low-carbon jobs in the US using comprehensive online job posting data between 2010-2019. By accurately identifying low-carbon jobs and comparing them to similar jobs within the same occupation\, we show that: i) low-carbon vacancies exhibit higher skill complexity\, especially for technical and managerial ones\; ii) skill requirements are similar between high- and low-carbon jobs\; iii) green reskilling patterns are highly occupation-specific\; iv) wages are higher in low-carbon but the green wage premium eroded over time\; v) skills complexity pay higher returns\, especially in low-carbon jobs. Our analysis makes the case for investments in reskilling as key ingredient of green recovery packages\, but also highlight the need to enhance wages and attractiveness of low-carbon jobs.</p>
