This analysis was funded by the Wind Energy Technologies Office of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) under Contract No. DE-AC02-05CH11231. This research uses data from the Census Bureau's Longitudinal Employer Household Dynamics Program, which was partially supported by the following National Science Foundation Grants SES-9978093, SES-0339191 and ITR-0427889; National Institute on Aging Grant AG018854; and grants from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation. We also thank the Rocky Mountain Research Data Center staff and in particular Philip Pendergast, Kas McLean, and Carlos Becerra for their support. We are grateful for detailed and helpful comments from Johannes Schmieder and all of the participants at the NBER Conference and Pre-Conference Workshop on Distributional Impacts of New Energy Policies, which benefited from funding from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation. We could not have performed this work without the support of the DOE, specifically Patrick Gilman, Rin Ball, and Maggie Yancey.
