The circular economy (CE) is a proposal for a new, more sustainable, and durable economy model. As a consequence, this pro-environmental economic model induces visible changes in the labor market which are Green Jobs (GJs). This paper is focused on the creation of Green Jobs in the CE. The GJs are most visible in the environmental goods and services sector (EGSS). This study aims to investigate EGSS among 28 European Union countries in the years 2009-2019. The adopted method was literature research complemented by the statistical analysis of secondary data from Eurostat in the linear regression method. Then, some Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and their measure were used as main indicators reflecting changes in the labor market. Results are presented as a model indicating which of the SDGs can support CE and enhance a number of the Green Jobs. Presented results contribute to the science because combine factors influencing GJs creation in EGSS, in a CE perspective. This study underlines a lack of uniform methods for measuring and forecasting the effects of Green Jobs creation and indicates future research directions.
循环经济（CE）是一种新的、更可持续和更持久的经济模式的提议。因此，这种有利于环境的经济模式在劳动力市场上引起了明显的变化，即绿色就业（GJ）。本文专注于循环经济中的绿色就业创造。绿色就业在环境商品和服务部门（EGSS）中最为明显。本研究旨在调查 2009 年至 2019 年间 28 个欧盟国家的 EGSS 中的绿色就业。采用的方法是文献研究，辅以 Eurostat 的二次数据的统计分析，采用线性回归方法。然后，使用一些可持续发展目标（SDGs）及其衡量标准作为主要指标，反映劳动力市场的变化。结果以模型的形式呈现，指出哪些可持续发展目标可以支持循环经济并增加绿色就业的数量。提出的结果有助于科学，因为它结合了循环经济视角下影响 EGSS 中绿色就业创造的因素。本研究强调缺乏衡量和预测绿色就业创造效果的统一方法，并指出了未来的研究方向。
