There are now more than 100,000 workers employed in the German solar PV industry alone.

The solar industry is just getting started here in America. Solar is a high-growth industry with the potential to create millions more jobs in a diverse range of sectors

[I heard Bill Clinton talk last week about all the solar jobs created in Germany]

A couple words of caution: These figures are comparing solar manufacturing, sales and installation to steel production alone. If one were to factor in products made from steel, the industry would be up around 160,000 workers.
