A The ratio between expected green jobs and 2019 fossil fuel worker employment. Maps were made using the sf package in R (Pebesma E (2018). “Simple Features for R: Standardized Support for Spatial Vector Data.” The R Journal, 10(1), 439-446. -CC-BY Attribution 4.0). B, C In the 15 most extraction-intensive regions, we expect that <1.5% of fossil fuel workers will transition to green jobs. Even in regions with the highest transition rates (i.e., in Dallas, TX), only 4% of fossil fuel workers will transition to green jobs.
