On January 6, U.S. Secretary of Labor Hilda L. Solis announced nearly $100 million in green jobs training grants as authorized by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009. The grants will support job training programs to help dislocated workers and others find jobs in green industries and related occupations. Approximately $28 million of the total funds will support projects in communities impacted by the auto industry's restructuring.
