The cannabis industry is helping out the economy of Missouri.
Last year, marijuana businesses provided over 4,500 jobs throughout the state, all legal of course. These jobs included retail sales clerks, managers, security, and deliverers.
The state has reported that the number of people working in medical marijuana facilities has increased by over 2000% in one year.
Missouri citizens voted to legalize medical cannabis in November of 2018.
It will be interesting to see if the publicly traded marijuana stocks increase the number of employees also, helping out the U.S. economy.
