ECO Canada's recent cites the top green careers right now as "environmental engineers, environmental technologists and technicians, conservation biologists, geographic information system (GIS) analysts, and environmental communication officers." Job growth in "green" is expected to be 4.3 per cent by 2010, compared to the national average increase of 2.3 per cent.

Census Needs Workers in North Dakota
I thought the census jobs, at $11/hour would get lots of applicants countrywide. But in North Dakota, specifically, western North Dakota, there's been little interest. Bismarck office manager Johi Leidholm points to low unemployment and oil jobs.
The Census Bureau is seeking about 3,600 applicants in the state by the first week in April.
I see lots of ads for Census jobs in my city outside Boston - on the door of the library and in stores in the square.

We explore the downside of layoffs and product disruption and the possible upside of geospatial stimulus.

Paid Summer Internship - Gardiner NY
Yes, it's cold now in January - but think of being outdoors in a New York State preserve working "with scientists and land managers on ongoing field studies and land management initiatives utilizing GIS/GPS technology and participate in library and specimen collection management related to the area’s cultural and natural history."

Podcast: Four New Year's Geotechnology Challenges
With the new year five days old and economic challenges expected for every sector we explore four big challenges and opportunities for those in geospatial technology. We explore four of them: (1) how U.S. investment in infrastructure may propel geotechnologies, (2) marketing of geotechnologies in tough times (3) the growth/contraction of location-based services, and (4) the renewed interest in "openness."
