According to data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, job creation in the energy sector has grown significantly faster than overall private sector employment in the past six years, with employment growth in the extraction and support segments of the oil and gas industry reporting growth over 35 percent. Careers in clean energy or renewable industries (wind, solar, biofuels) are also expected to expand in upcoming years, and graduates with master’s degrees in global energy management are going to be in high demand.
