According to a new study by Flowerhire, the cannabis talent and placement company Belsky leads, the biggest cannabis boomtowns are now in the East (and to some extent, the Midwest).
The company examined its own database and zeroed in on jobs paying over $100,000 (average salary, $140,000 in both 2020 and 2021 to date. Surprisingly, 68 percent of those placements were located east of the Mississippi, compared to 50 in percent in 2020.
That’s an eye opener for an industry used to paying homage to Western “pioneer” cannabis states like California and Colorado. In fact, FlowerHire’s study reported, 80 percent of new six-figure job growth has occurred outside California.
