If you're looking for a new job, but you're also a friend of the environment, there could be a perfect position for you in the tech sector. More than ever before, tech companies are committed to sustainability -- they're developing greener devices, increasing the life cycle of products and developing meaningful partnerships. In fact, seven of the top 10 green companies are in the tech sector, and IBM leads the way, with a greenscore of 82.5%.

This year, there will be more than 3 million green jobs in America, helping the "green economy" surge past the "regular economy." Another benefit of going green in the job hunt? It can also bring you more green -- wages are 13% higher for green jobs than for the average American job.

Take a look at the green profiles of IBM, Apple, Google, Dell, Nokia, HP and Microsoft, and check out the other stats in the infographic below, produced by JobVine.

Let's face it: Apple is rich. So rich it could send a crowd of people to the moon to build a luxury hotel and hang out there for a few years. Here's what else it could do, according to our friends at The Joy of Tech.

It's not surprising Apple is so deeply awash in cash, especially after its spectacular first-quarter earnings announced this week. You can see the details of Apple's unbelievable numbers here, but will give you a highlight: the company's revenues for the quarter were higher than its total revenues for all of fiscal 2009.

Apple's so rich, it could give each of its employees a check for $6,622,516. The company's worth more than $400 billion. Here's more about Apple's riches.

If you had $100 billion (or $97.7 billion in cash reserves, to be exact), what would you do with it?
