On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
As governments worldwide increase their commitments to tackle climate change, low-carbon jobs are expected to grow rapidly. We provide evidence on the characteristics of low-carbon jobs in the US using comprehensive online job posting data between 2010-2019. By accurately identifying low-carbon jobs and comparing them to similar jobs within the same occupation, we show that: i) low-carbon vacancies exhibit higher skill complexity, especially for technical and managerial ones; ii) skill requirements are similar between high-and low-carbon jobs; iii) green reskilling patterns are highly occupation-specific. For most occupations, we observe a wage premium for low-carbon jobs that eroded over time and remained significantly smaller than the high-carbon wage premium. Our analysis makes the case for investments in reskilling as key ingredient of green recovery packages, but also highlight the need to enhance wage incentives in low-carbon jobs.
