Elevate Holistics has underscored the growing economic significance of the cannabis industry workforce in the United States, and invites professionals from all backgrounds to contribute to what CEO Aspen Noonan calls the “green-workforce revolution.”

Recent 2025 data reinforce that the legal cannabis sector remains a major employment engine. The U.S. legal cannabis industry supports approximately 425,002 full-time equivalent (FTE) jobs, according to the 2025 Vangst Jobs Report released in May. Despite a modest employment decline (down 3.4% from 2023) the sector’s retail sales grew to roughly $30.1 billion and are projected to reach $34 billion in 2025. Job growth is concentrated in emerging legal markets: for example, employment in New York rose by about 209%, in Mississippi by ~103%, and in Ohio by ~34%.
