Even as you hit that search engine to find a job in the cannabis industry, most of what you\u2019ll find is cannabis specific occupations, which are cultivation, dispensary and sales related.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While the cannabis industry specific occupations may be appealing to you, the industry needs similar positions filled as any other industry would such as security, accountants, healthcare professionals, nursery workers, lawyers, scientists and the list could go on. According to Glassdoor, working within the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">cannabis industry can pay 11% more than the American median salary<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. No wonder there\u2019s a rise in individuals looking to work in the industry. Rest assured, the demand for employees in the industry has also <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">risen by as much as 76% between 2017 and 2018<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> alone\u2026and it appears to be accelerating with no signs of slowing down.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many tend to assume that positions such as those of budtenders are where the demand is for employees, when in actual fact 53% of the jobs needing to be filled are simply profession or technical positions such as managers in marketing and products as well as auditors.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Daniel Zhao is an economist and a data scientist with the company Glassdoor. He explains that \u201cAs the cannabis industry becomes more legitimate, more and more professional roles will be in demand to help businesses comply with tax laws and regulations and scale into larger markets\u201d. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mr Zhao\u2019s research goes on to conclude<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that \u201cWhile there are a variety of skills and backgrounds needed, the majority of job openings today are for professional and technical roles, due to three key trends: (1) legitimization, (2) professionalization and (3) modernization\u201d.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h2><strong>What Jobs Are Needed in the Cannabis Industry?<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before we continue down the path of discussing why the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.veriheal.com\/blog\/cannabis-is-helping-cultivate-jobs-in-more-than-dispensaries\/\">cannabis industry needs occupations<\/a> that aren\u2019t directly related to cannabis, let\u2019s have a look at some examples of occupations that are needed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\">\r\n<table>\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td><strong>Cannabis Industry Specific Occupations:<\/strong><\/td>\r\n<td>Nursery and Grow Employees, Extractors and Manufacturers, Dispensary Managers, Budtenders, Cash Handlers, Packaging, Quality-Control Inspectors<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td><strong>Complimentary Occupations:<\/strong><\/td>\r\n<td>Scientists, Bioengineers, Botanists, Healthcare Professionals, Researchers<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td><strong>Needed Occupations Like Any Other Industry:<\/strong><\/td>\r\n<td>IT Developers, Marketing, Human Resources, Production, Lawyers and Legal Consultants, Accountants, Business Consultants, Web Developers, Digital Media, Electricians, Plumbers, Paralegals, Writers, Graphic Design, Sales Representatives, HVAC\/ Plumbing Technicians, Electricians, Administrative Executives and Assistants, Couriers, Security<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<\/tbody>\r\n<\/table>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As you can see, the list of occupations needed in the cannabis industry leans heavily on occupations which can be found in any other type of industry.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>Why Does the Cannabis Industry Require the Same Jobs as Other Industries?<\/b><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li>\r\n<h3><strong> It&#8217;s Becoming Legitimate<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Specific regulations, standards and requirements need to be complied with if the cannabis industry is to become legitimate. This includes requirements on product safety, accounting and ensuring that the state law is being abided. By adhering to governance (state and federal law), the cannabis industry becomes lawful and acts under the authority of the regulations, requirements, and standards to be met.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li>\r\n<h3><strong> It&#8217;s Getting Professional<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As the industry continues to see more and more small to medium sized businesses popping up, the need for more professional and technical workers increases too. Businesses are looking to employ workers with a higher education or enough experience to oversee parts of the businesses involved in making it more professional, such as marketing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li>\r\n<h3><strong> It&#8217;s Tailored for the Tech Age\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The technological era continues to boom alongside the cannabis industry which means that more technical employees will be required. The cannabis industry already has many online platforms for retailers, reviewers and deliveries. Businesses will need to hire more professional workers to continue satisfying consumers on these platforms as well as for keeping up with competitors.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to Mr Zhao\u2019s research, many big cannabis companies are looking to hire and have an average of 43 open positions of the ten employers looking to hire (at the time of his research).\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you find yourself longing to switch from your current industry to another, be sure to consider the cannabis community.
