LOS ANGELES, Aug. 20, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The U.S. cannabis industry employs more than 200,000 people in states that have legalized sale and use of the substance, and the figure is growing at an astonishing rate. Analysts expect the industry's employment numbers to surpass sectors including manufacturing, utilities, and even government jobs within five years. Although the Bureau of Labor Statistics fails to recognize the industry's contribution to the country's low unemployment figures, major U.S. universities including Vanderbilt Law School, Cornell University, and the University of California at Davis now offer cannabis-focused undergraduate and graduate programs.
So, where does one begin when considering working in the industry? mg Magazine's annual report about leading cannabis employers is an excellent place to start.
