The New Green Economy
The cannabis industry is proving to be more than a cultural movement—it’s a job creator. In fact, new labor reports show that cannabis jobs are outpacing tech growth in several states.
Where the Jobs Are
Roles in cultivation, retail, lab testing, and distribution are in high demand. States like California, Colorado, and Michigan are leading the way, employing tens of thousands of workers each.
Why It Matters
Unlike tech jobs that often require advanced degrees, cannabis positions provide opportunities for workers from diverse backgrounds. Many are entry-level but offer room for growth as the industry matures.
Looking Ahead
With legalization spreading, cannabis is expected to add hundreds of thousands of jobs nationwide over the next decade.
