One of the best places for green jobs is right here in the Queen City


According to the personal finance website GoodCall, Cincinnati is one of the top 10 best cities for green careers.

The Queen City came in at no. 2 in the country based on the following criteria:
  • The number of jobs posted online per capita (Cincinnati had 6.7 green jobs posted per 100,000 residents)
  • The average cost of living
  • Amenities per capita (food services, arts, entertainment, etc.)
  • A comparison of the average salary of environmental jobs to the average salary for the area
GoodCall says that green job workers make about 56 percent more than the average for the city, which goes even further, since the cost of living here is about 14 percent lower than the national average.

Also, CH2M, one of the world’s largest environmental firms, has an office in Cincinnati, and it's home to Environmental Quality Management Inc., a leader in environmental consulting, engineering and compliance, remediation and construction for industrial, public and government sectors.
