ANSWER: Defining "clean" and "green" occupations and industries

answer: 

usasearch.gov may help find hearings, position papers, proposals, etc., put out by both federal and state agencies regarding standards or requirements for "clean" or "green" industries and jobs. The search: "clean industry" standards gets 75 hits; "clean jobs" definition gets 30; "defining green jobs" gets 20. Compare Google search using site limiters: "defining green jobs" site:gov gets 15 unique sites; "defining green jobs" site:edu gets 17; "defining green" site:edu gets 181; but "clean industry standards" site:edu gets only 1.

Occupational Outlook Handbook lists Engineers, including Aerospace and Aerospace Engineers. BLS' May 2008 State Occupational Employment and Wage Estimates shows California:

Occupation Code Occupation Title Employment (1) Median Hourly Mean Hourly Mean Annual(2) Mean RSE(3)
00-0000 All Occupations 15,212,610 $17.52 $23.12 $48,090 0.4 17-2011 Aerospace Engineers 13,590 $50.26 $51.39 $106,890 1.6%

In this site's notes "About May 2008 National, State, Metropolitan, and Nonmetropolitan Area Occupational Employment and Wage Estimates" it says: (1) Estimates for detailed occupations do not sum to the totals because the totals include occupations not shown separately. Estimates do not include self-employed workers. (2) Annual wages have been calculated by multiplying the hourly mean wage by a "year-round, full-time" hours figure of 2,080 hours; for those occupations where there is not an hourly mean wage published, the annual wage has been directly calculated from the reported survey data. (3) The relative standard error (RSE) is a measure of the reliability of a survey statistic. The smaller the relative standard error, the more precise the estimate.

BLS's Occupational Employment Statistics, include a discussion of "Green Jobs", near the top of that page, though it is not yet an official category.
