Stephen J. (Low) says
Requires a broad range of skills like the power of persuasion, "the human touch", and more.

Green jobs are the center people-based, they are made to help lift people out of poverty and pull us out of a waste-based society. This will affect all aspects of society that aren't so easily automatable.
