Cannabizteam Worldwide released its 2023 Cannabis Industry Salary Guide exclusively via Benzinga Cannabis and El Planteo. The new guide shows strength in the U.S. cannabis job market in the face of global economic challenges.
Over the last year, cannabis salaries rose 5% on average and compensation for top executives rose as much as 10% year-over-year.
The cannabis job market remains strong, fueled by a significant increase in new cannabis consumers, record sales of over $30 billion, and the addition of high-population adult-use states, said Liesl Bernard, founder and CEO of CannabizTeam.
CannabizTeam has 108,000 new cannabis jobs planned for 2023, with the strongest job markets being NY, NJ, MD, MO and IL adult-use when they are fully established. Several medical-cannabis-only states experienced a lot of success in 2022, including FL, OH, OK and PA.
The Cannabis Industry Salary Guide looks at the most popular direct-hire positions in the year 2023.
