FlowerHire and Leafwire bring you an expert panel of HR/Talent executives from the cannabis industry to discuss the topic of Cannabis Jobs in the wake of COVID-19.

Job growth in the cannabis industry is now at the center of a broader conversation about jobs and the economy, as our industry has the potential to employ hundreds of thousands of Americans coming out of this pandemic.

Talent Leaders from Cresco Labs, Kiva Confections, and Ascend Wellness will share how COVID-19 has impacted the hiring and growth plans forecasted for 2020, as well as how the “essential services” designation for cannabis has impacted operations variably on a state by state basis.
