A new study by the National Bureau of Economic Research found that marijuana legalization may actually increase job opportunities. Researchers explored the impact of recreational marijuana legalization (RML) on employment and wages, comparing states with and without legalization. The study found no evidence of significant negative impacts on the economy and workforce. Instead, RML is linked to small employment increases in the agricultural sector, especially in states like California, Colorado, and Oregon. The study also noted modest employment gains for Hispanics and people over 30. These findings align with previous research, including a 2021 study that associated legalization with higher workforce productivity and fewer workplace injuries. [1a07f277]
