He said the new posts will be linked to renewables and the party’s plan for insulating homes.
He previously said 50,000 jobs would be supported by the plans, but in his Record column Scottish Labour leader Sarwar has gone further. He wrote: “That is why it’s so important that, as we move towards a cleaner and greener Scotland, we ensure that this is a transition which creates jobs not takes them away.
“Our Warm Homes Plan will create another 16,000 jobs including plumbers and construction workers, as well as delivering warmer homes and lower bills for thousands of Scots. "To make matters worse we already know the Labour Party have scrapped their £28bn pledge to invest in green technologies - when it comes to energy jobs, their only offer is redundancies.
"They should see the industry as part of a just transition, rather than turning off the taps in the North Sea overnight.
