Canadian Pot Companies Face Talent Shortage

Canada’s coming legalization of extracts and edibles is putting a new strain on a cannabis jobs market where it’s already difficult to find skilled workers.

Extracted cannabis oil is necessary to produce vape pens and edibles. But with products set to become available as soon as December, cannabis companies are struggling to find skilled extractors. In turn, the extractors want to hire experienced expert technicians, analysts, and testers. But companies are struggling to fill those positions.
