Introduction

GCAMUSAJobs was developed to post-process electric power projections from GCAM-USA, enabling the estimation of future power sector jobs at the state-level by generation technology and job type. GCAMUSAJobs extends GCAM-USA functionality by (1) estimating the capacity levels of different activities – operational capacity, capacity addition, and retirement; and (2) calculating jobs associated with production activities, including those in operation and maintenance (O&M), construction, and decommissioning.
