Despite growing interest in green roles, which are becoming more prevalent as the UK heads towards net zero, one in five job candidates polled by the hiring platform felt there were not enough paid positions to apply for, and even when paid positions come up, one in three were discouraged by inadequate pay.
Overall, a quarter of respondents said they would take a pay cut for a sustainable job. However, there were generational differences in willingness, with just 18% of 45-54 year olds prepared to take a lower salary, compared with 42% of 18-24 year olds.
