With the growth of cannabis businesses across the nation comes more opportunities to work in this budding industry. Likewise, as the cannabis industry continues to expand here in Western New York, the demand for skilled workers in this field is increasing. Currently, the cannabis industry is estimated to employ more than 200,000 workers in the United States. New York has fostered a vibrant hemp industry in recent years with the primary market being hemp-based CBD products.
