California just started to allow legal recreational marijuana sales on January 1st and many are expecting the state to become a giant in the industry.
According to ZipRecruiter, there’s also a lot of jobs in the California marijuana industry.
The online employment marketplace found that data showed Los Angeles and San Francisco advertised the most marijuana-focused jobs in the legal marketplace.
The report said, “When it comes to growth in this industry, we see the most significant growth in states that recently loosened their marijuana laws.”
The next big employment cities after California are Denver and Seattle.
Consumer Research Around Cannabis published a report called Cannabis Marketplace Report that found that there are approximately 13.7 million adults over the age of 21 in the Los Angeles Greater Metropolitan Area and approximately 5.3 million of those people are cannabis consumers.
Investment and research firm Ackrell Capital has also determined that California’s legal medical marijuana was a $3.8 billion business last year.
