The current research shows that it does not appear unrealistic that around 7% of the total global electricity production by 2050 could come from ocean areas. Employment in the sector is likely to increase rapidly throughout the world, and could reach almost 1 million people by 2030. The scenarios used in the present work show sharp fluctuations after that time, which would represent each of the two sectors (offshore and wind) maturing around different times, with maturity representing a sharp slowdown in the number of people involved in the installation of new devices. Although it is not clear that such an effect will indeed happen, what is clear is the potential for the sectors to provide substantial amount of jobs in the next 20 years.
