The Cannabis Job Market Is Exploding
Cannabis is the fastest growing industry in the United States, and the cannabis job market is exploding with more open jobs than ever. Cannabis cultivators, manufacturers, dispensaries, and ancillary businesses are actively seeking employees with diverse skills and experience.
You be the employee cannabis businesses are looking for!
What Cannabis Jobs are in Demand?
More than half of cannabis job openings are for professional and technical positions, which includes everything from accounting and marketing to plant sciences and software engineers.
The other half of open jobs include roles like brand ambassador, sales associate, store manager, wellness coordinator, delivery driver, general manager, and more.
How Much Money Can You Earn?
There are nearly twice as many open cannabis jobs today that there were a year ago according to research by Glassdoor.
With a shortage of qualified workers and so many open jobs, cannabis companies are paying top dollar to attract and retain the best talent.
That means it’s an employee’s market, so not only are there more opportunities for you to get into the industry, but you’ll also have a better chance to negotiate the best salary and benefits!
The median salary for cannabis industry job openings is nearly $58,511 per year, which is nearly 11% higher than the U.S. median annual salary. Annual salaries range from the low $20,000s for service jobs to over $200,000 for medical and legal roles.
Where are the Cannabis Jobs?
The majority of open cannabis jobs can be found in San Francisco and Los Angeles, but there is no shortage of open positions across the country in states where medical and/or recreational marijuana is available.
Don’t live in a state where medical or recreational marijuana is legal? That doesn’t mean you can’t work in the cannabis industry! There is a very large number of cannabis-related businesses that provide products and services to cannabis companies, and these ancillary companies have jobs to fill!
Greenhouse equipment suppliers, packaging materials suppliers, point-of-sale software providers, and advertising agencies are just a few examples of businesses where you could find a new career that doesn’t touch the cannabis plant but are vital to the cannabis industry.
