In order to state unambiguously the truth about jobs and the environment, an environmental economist explores the localized industries that may suffer job losses and explores mitigative strategies. He also considers the possibility that regulations can actually generate jobs, and sets out some policy options for dealing with the economic repercussions of environmental democracy.

Seperates truth from fiction,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Trade-Off Myth: Fact And Fiction About Jobs And The Environment (Hardcover)
The Trade-Off Myth: Fact and Fiction About Jobs and the Environment (Eban Goodstein, Island Press, 1999) Goodstein looks at several claims about jobs and the environment, and finds them all to be false: that regulations cause economy wide loss of jobs, that they devastate local economies, that they create pollution havens, that environmental regulations will generate large numbers of new jobs, and that efforts to control global warming will cause massive losses of jobs. Well written and highly recommended.
