New Jersey’s cannabis industry is getting ready to take off after last week’s statewide launch of adult-use weed. Initially, only seven treatment centers, or cannabis dispensaries in NJ, will sell adult-use marijuana at 13 shops across the state, but those numbers will soon pick up.
So, now the work begins: growing, producing, packaging, transporting, retail selling…the list is long. Suffice it to say that the cannabis industry is real, it’s big and it creates a lot of jobs.
Leafly’s most recent report shows there will be a meteoric rise in the number of jobs in the Garden State.
As employers need to expand their operations to serve the soon-to-be huge consumer weed market - with visitors from neighboring New York and Philadelphia contributing to it, no doubt - many will be looking for talented individuals to join their ranks.
