Below are some resources for national data.  Often, you may be better off downloading the data into a spreadsheet, where you'll be able to filter, sort, and analyze that data more easily.

Here are some examples of how you might use the downloaded BLS data in particular:

1. Search in column A for the rows on "healthcare practitioners and technical occupations" and "healthcare support occupations". They will allow you to identify and work with only those data.
2. Search in column A for the row on "production occupations" and work with those data.
3. Search in column A for the row on "food preparation and serving related occupations" and work with those data.

The Chronicle of Higher Education:

For current news and developments, search in the Chronicle of Higher Education which is the main trade publication for this industry.  Notice that there are two links below: we have a subscription to it directly from the publisher, and via ProQuest.  The ProQuest search engine is far better than that of the publisher!

Sources for statistics and data:

Diversity Equity and Inclusion at MU:

This is a long-standing concern and problem. Here are some articles about it.

Below are a variety of things:  a market research report on the renewable energy industry (Fitch Solutions); the 2020 results of a survey done by Johnson Controls of energy and management executives; a link to CEBA, a clean energy buying cooperative, and more.

There's also a link to a big trade publication for the HVAC industry. You can search in this publication for news articles profiling companies/organizations trying to use renewable energy.

There is a lot of material for this topic out there!  I strongly recommend figuring out a way to focus.  For example:

• A specific industry or supply chain
• A specific company, if perhaps you have some contacts inside the company.  Alternatively, focus on a major big name company for which there is a lot published.  
• Consider focusing on carbon offsets; there are companies 'out there' who sell them. 

For general article searching, use both ABI-Inform Global and Emerald Insight.  I've also linked to an open access, scholarly journal that is directly on topic.
