Several million "green jobs"

Ler "A Different Recession" de Harold Meyerson no The Washington Post (registo gratuito). Extracto do texto:

"As in Roosevelt's time, we need a policy that boosts incomes and finds new solutions for our energy needs. FDR's long-term income remedies included Social Security, the Wagner Act (which made it possible for many workers to join unions) and public works projects -- including a massive electrification of rural America. A comparable set of solutions today would include the passage of the Employee Free Choice Act, which would enable workers in nonexportable service-sector jobs to unionize without fear of being fired. It would include a massive, federally financed program to retrofit America, creating several million "green jobs" in the process."
