Among the many benefits ascribed to energy efficiency is the fact that it can help create jobs.

In this paper we identify some of the issues that we believe contribute to a lack of consistency in attempts to verify efficiency-related job creation. We then propose an analytically rigorous and tractable framework for program evaluators to use in future assessments.
