Interior Designers (US) – Industry Research Reports | IBISWorld, Aug. 2018, www.ibisworld.com/industry-trends/market-research-reports/administration-business-support-waste-management-services/remediation/remediation-environmental-cleanup-services.html.
This article basically describes how the environmental cleanup services have shifted in the last few years. Based on data from August, the article talks about how over the last five years the Environmental Cleanup Services in the US has grown by 0.8% to reach of revenue of $16 billion. Along with this, the number of businesses has grown by 2.1%, but with that the number of employees has declined by 0.4%. They also provide some other information such as stating that natural disasters often generate waste that make it necessary for environmental cleanup agencies to step in. So a higher frequency of natural disasters may lead to an increased industry revenue. It is also mentioned that an estimated 35% of the industry revenue is accounted by government remediation and cleanup programs.
Overall this all seems like good information. It is good to know that over the last few years we have not decreased the amount of money going to environmental cleanup agencies. It is also quite nice to hear how the number of businesses has also increased along with that. If I had to guess why the amount of workers in the industry has decreased I would probably assume it is a result of things becoming more technologically advanced and that less people are needed in these specific companies.
This article had some interesting facts and shows hope of a prosperous future. I think that it is good that businesses are growing in this industry and your analysis for why there are fewer workers is probably correct.
Its nice to hear about people trying create a better future for our enviroment and trying to lessen the waste and pollution. The article and yourself mentioned some really good facts and statics.Despite, all the good motivations behind these organizations, are they actually effective in making a difference in the environment?
