Cannabis at Work CEO Alison McMahon tells Proactive Investors that as we move towards the October 17 date of marijuana legalization in Canada a significant number of retail jobs will hit the market as municipalities grant retail licenses.

McMahon says the staffing company works with a broad range of players in the Canadian cannabis sector — from publicly traded licensed producers to licensed producer applicants. She expects to fill hundreds of thousands of jobs in the near future, with the largest need for staff in Ontario.
