While wind generated energy rose 39 percent, the troubling part was the sector didn't add jobs. Total US jobs associated with wind energy stalled at 85,000. That's about flat from the previous year as the recession took a toll on manufacturing. In 2008, job growth surged as the sector added 35,000 positions. Still given the bleed of jobs that we are enduring, the fact that sector didn't shed jobs is perhaps good news.
