Ten years ago, Ed Miliband promised a million new green jobs by 2030. He’s not the only one of course to make such extravagant promises over the years.

The reality, as you might have guessed, is somewhat different!


The ONS has just published the data for 2022, which attempts to put a gloss on it by including all sorts of jobs, such as 138,900 jobs in waste collection, jobs which have always been there. There are another 70,000 jobs in the environmental charity/consultancy sector.
