#Cannabusiness @Regrann from @gotcannaskills - from @hbcannu - ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• In one year, legal cannabis added more than 26,000 new jobs to the American workforce. When asked that question last year, nobody could tell us. The few estimates we found seemed untethered to any actual sales figures. Because of the Schedule I status of cannabis, state and federal labor statisticians had no way to count the jobs. So we set about to find the number ourselves. Last year we found that 122,814 jobs relied on the legal status of cannabis in America. This year, we found that legal cannabis supports 149,304 Americans. That’s an increase of 22% in one year. In 12 months, the legal cannabis industry has added 26,490 jobs to the nation’s workforce. What’s behind those numbers? Digging into the work of leading cannabis economists, we devised a method that roughly translated annual sales into FTE (full time equivalent) jobs. You can find the full explanation of that method here. Not every job in the industry is a full-time gig. So these figures are FTE jobs, in which two half-time jobs equals one FTE. Also, it’s worth noting that these are jobs supported by legal cannabis. Not every one of those jobs touches the plant. These estimates include lawyers who advise business owners, electricians who consult on grow operations, hydroponic farming supply houses, insurance brokers, software developers, realtors who specialize in commercial cannabis real estate—the list goes on. 🌱 #HBCannU #GotcannaSkills🛑 #CannaSkillsPro#CannabisNews #cannabis #weed #420 #marijuana #mmj #marijauanaIndustry #Cannabusiness #weedstagram420 #cannabiscommunity - #regrann
