Unemployed oil workers in Texas are landing jobs in the solar industry. In Texas, the solar industry offers career opportunities for unemployed oil and gas professionals during the pandemic. The sector is failing, and most workers are looking to apply their skills to the solar industry. This includes workers from every field, which ranges from construction to negotiating land-use agreements.
New technologies have also enabled new environmental sustainability job opportunities to pop up. Some employees need to be specialized in a specific role. Those who do have it could train and educate their potential employees.

• Recycling Worker: Many plants provide onsite job training for these positions, and some also have educational opportunities for students. Salary for reclamation and recycling workers is listed at $36,000 per year.
• Sustainable Architect: Buildings produce 40% of global greenhouse gas emissions, so there’s a need for sustainable architects. Average salary ranges from $48,500 to $166,500.
Jobs in the sustainability field are becoming popular, making it more ideal for someone who wants to help the planet. Renewables are a much better option for those working in oil and gas, especially because engineering and energy skills can be applied here.
