Finding jobs that are environmentally sustainable does not necessarily mean they pay poorly, with the jobs on this list of highest paying green jobs, according to data from Resume Genius, all having a median salary of more than $100,000.
To determine the highest paying green jobs, Resume Genius sourced its data from O*NET, specifically targeting O*NET’s Green Occupations to find data across all industries. The organization then cross-referenced its findings with the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics’ (BLS) Occupational Outlook Handbook, ensuring that the selected occupations adhered to environmental criteria, as well as a minimum annual median salary of $59,540 and faster-than-average growth projections.
