The Cannabis Jobs In Highest Demand

In the United States, there are plenty of cannabis jobs that you can apply for. As the cannabis industry continues to experience increased growth, there will be even more jobs opening up for so many people.

You can take the fact that more than sixty four thousand people were hired in cannabis jobs in 2018 and it is going to get better in 2019 as many experts believe. In 2017, cannabis employment experienced an increase of twenty one percent. It more than doubled in 2018 at forty four percent. In 2019, it is expected to grow twenty percent more.

In three years, the cannabis job opportunities had an hundred and ten combined and increased growth, which is amazing progress. As marijuana becomes legal in more states, it will only improve your chances to land a marijuana job.

New York and New Jersey are both poised to get into the game. So be sure to look out for job openings when it becomes a reality. In the state of Washington and Colorado, the cannabis job growth seems to have begun to plateau because these two states have been in business since marijuana became legal in 2014.

The New Entrepreneurs

In new states where marijuana has been legalized, cannabis jobs are more prevalent and such states include Nevada and Florida. In the state of Nevada, recreational cannabis has been legalized and so they are doing better since there are avid weed users that have embraced the ease in which they can purchase weed and not have to depend on the black market. In the state of Florida, medical marijuana has been made legal and the residents in that state are enjoying great gains in employment.

Skill and Training

Unless new entrepreneurs open up new marijuana dispensaries, it won't be as easy to find a job in the field. However, there is always a need for marijuana trimmers. No matter where you go, you will always be able to find a marijuana trimming and growing job because these two cannabis jobs are always in demand; pretty much because not a lot of people have the experience or skill and due to the fact that you can start out in an entry level position.

This means that you may not have the skill, but you can get on-the-job training. It is recommended, though, that you consider getting training prior to applying for any cannabis job. With skill and training or with either skill or training, you will have more advantage than your competition when applying for a job.
