A report from cannabis HR firm Vangst projects an ongoing boom in cannabis jobs, but many of the openings will be temporary and pay meagrely.

  • There was a 79% increase between 2018 and 2019 in the total number of openings.
  • An estimated 211,000 full-time workers currently make up the industry.
  • By 2020, most companies will employ roughly 40% freelancers.
  • Most common job openings include cultivation technicians, trimmers, budtenders, brand ambassadors, directors of cultivation and delivery drivers.
