21st Century Green Building – The Best Hope for New Jobs Now

Employment is the backbone of any nation’s economy. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, a significant share of the overall national employment is provided by the residential and commercial construction sector. However, in January 2009 alone 598,000 jobs simply disappeared. Nearly one-fifth of those were in the construction sector. An obvious reason it has been said no national recovery can begin to take place until problems with the US Housing Industry are resolved. And, it can’t be accomplished by building the same houses, the same way, using the same materials and at the same costs. America deserves better and there has to be a better way. It is going to require an “out of the box” approach that incorporates “green building” and “energy efficiencies” in a manner that can also put out-of-work construction crews back on the jobsite now - with little or no new job training required. What is the answer? SGBS – Superior Green Building Systems. It’s not only the best hope for the future but SGBS can get thousands, if not millions of workers off the unemployment lines and back to work today. Not just with a job – but with green-collar jobs!
