As of 2019, Legal Cannabis Has Created 211,000 Full-Time Jobs in America
How many jobs are there in the legal cannabis industry? It’s a common question—and one the government refuses to answer.
Because cannabis remains federally illegal, employment data agencies such as the Bureau of Labor Statistics ignore all jobs related to the industry.
Legal cannabis is the greatest job creation machine in America. Our employment data proves it.
That’s too bad, because they’re missing one of the most dramatic job booms in recent history.
Over the past three months Leafly’s data team, working in partnership with Whitney Economics, has gone state-by-state to tally the total number of direct, full-time jobs in the state-legal cannabis industry.
There are now more than 211,000 cannabis jobs across the United States. More than 64,000 of those jobs were added in 2018.

Sorry to hear that, hope you got something else sorted quickly.
What happened? Did the company get taken over?
Seems odd if the industry is growing.
