Green Collar Jobs Still an Answer to Employment Crisis   By Tay Yoshitani CEO, Port of Seattle     The most recent government employment reports have been disappointing because they show a profound lack of job creation on the part of the private sector. In addition to calling the health of the overall U.S. economy into question, many analysts say that the latest data raise troubling issues about the viability of clean technology as a positive force for 21st-century prosperity. After all, we've been told repeatedly that legions of new green-collar jobs will materialize and generate growth for communities all across the nation. I believe the analysts are wrong; my view remains that the creation and proliferation of well-paying green-collar jobs in America will ultimately help us address the biggest employment crisis since the Great Depression.
