How much labor goes into energy production?

energy_sector.employees
65 million people
How many people work in the energy sector, globally
typical_work_week
40 hours/week
Assuming this is what the typical energy-sector employee works
energy.tfc
9938 Mtoe/year
Total final consumption of energy (globally)
Key World Energy Statistics 2020 (IEA Report)

energy_sector.employees * typical_work_week / energy.tfc (person hours/week) per (thousand watts) (calculation loading) However, this is with the status quo of most energy coming from fossil fuels. Cleaner energy sources will probably require more labor per watt - but how much more? Help gather relevant data and join the discussion.
