Global energy employment reached 76 million jobs in 2024, growing by 2.2% compared with 1.3% across the wider economy. The International Energy Agency’s World Energy Employment 2025 also found that more than half of its survey respondents reported serious hiring difficulties, with shortages particularly acute in technical roles such as electricians and pipefitters.
The global low-emissions hydrogen supply workforce grew from 35,000 in 2023 to 40,000 in 2024. Hydrogen produced through electrolysis accounted for nearly 90% of these jobs, while construction of new facilities generated most of the additional employment. The report also highlights partnerships in Saudi Arabia, the United States and Mexico that are developing vocational training for hydrogen workers.
