How Much do Jobs in the
Cannabis Industry Pay?
CannaInsiders
Short Answer: More Than Most
 As an industry with legal questions circling it, the cannabis industry has taken
the tact of luring top talent with high paying jobs with good benefits
 Additionally, this is currently the fastest growing industry in the country, so
job outlook is high
Cannabis Industry Benefits:
 71 percent of cannabis jobs include medical insurance.
 51 percent offer dental insurance for full-time employees.
 46 percent offer vision insurance.
 46 percent offer all three for full-time employees.
 29 percent offer a 401k plan – or employee stock options.
 21 percent of the jobs come with no benefits
How Does This Compare to Other
Industries?
Benefits for Non-Cannabis Industries
 46 percent of small and medium sized businesses (fewer than 200 people,
almost all legal cannabis companies fall into this group) offer medical
insurance
 50 percent of small and medium sized businesses offer dental insurance
 15 percent of small and medium sized businesses offer a 401k plan
 It’s pretty clear that from a benefits perspective, the cannabis industry
outperforms most industries out there

projected to hit 220% in 2019. Furthermore, the average salary of legal
cannabis jobs increased by 16.8% from 2017 to 2018, so we can likely expect
salaries to trend upwards as well
 The bottom line is, if you’re planning to enter the green rush, now is a
great time
