Recreational marijuana sales hit a new record high of $89 million in April 2020 amid the single full month of stay-at-home orders related to COVID-19, a 45 percent increase over April 2019. In March, the second-highest month ever recorded, cannabis sales hit $84.5 million. The previous record of $79.4 million was set in August 2019, according to the Oregon Liquor Control Commission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the recent Oregon Office of Economic Analysis\u00a0Economic and Revenue Forecast June 2020,\u00a0\u201cThese increases are not only related to the stockpiling consumers did after the sheltering in place policies were enacted, but have continued through April and early May. Some of the increases in sales of usable marijuana are in part due to rising prices, but underlying demand is up as well. The increase in sales for other marijuana products, like concentrates, edibles and the like, are due to significant gains in consumer demand as prices are flat or down.\u201d

Having grown up in the heart of the so-called \u201cEmerald Triangle\u201d of the once entirely illicit marijuana industry, I\u2019ve observed remarkable changes both from a legal and societal acceptance perspective in a relatively short time span. I would imagine that those who lived through the end of the alcohol prohibition era in 1933 witnessed a similar rapid change once the speakeasy gave way to legal bars, taverns and legal retail liquor sales. Oregon\u2019s bumpy path toward legalized recreational marijuana sales may have germinated back in 1973 when the state became the first to decriminalize possession of less than once ounce of marijuana.

While not a \u201cnew\u201d industry in the sense the seeds were sown by a new technology, product or market, rather this is an industry that has been flowing through Oregon\u2019s economy for decades. This industry has a long-standing presence and is even more concentrated in the outdoor marijuana cultivation-friendly climate of the southwestern corner of the state, essentially for generations. The economy has been rife with cannabis activity, economic output, and income gains, mostly beneath the scope of any real data to measure that activity. The only real published figures were when law enforcement interdiction produced poundage and street-dollar value estimates of the formerly illegal seized cannabis products. Even now, federal statistics are by nature precluding any tally of employment, revenue and sales data for this budding industry sector. A few regional economies, including Oregon\u2019s, are now pulling the curtains back on the scope of this older, but now legal industry as data on sales, revenue and employment become available.

Transitioning to the Retail Dispensary Model<\/strong>

One of the evolving changes in Oregon\u2019s legal marijuana industry is the shift to retail dispensaries. As of January 1, 2017 sales are allowed at licensed recreational retailers. Previously, medical marijuana dispensaries were also allowed to sell to recreational customers \u2013 any adult over 21 years old. Currently, recreational dispensaries may sell cannabis to both recreational and medical customers, with only recreational customers subject to taxes. Now medical-only dispensaries are only allowed to sell cannabis to those with a medical marijuana card.

From a business perspective, these changes have ushered out the era of medical-only dispensaries. There were only 48 strictly medical dispensaries left in the state in April 2017. By late 2018, the Oregon Health Authority\/Oregon Medical Marijuana Program database listed just five medical-only dispensary businesses remaining statewide. On the other hand, the Oregon Liquor Control Commission (OLCC), which oversees the recreational marijuana industry, listed 1,020 active licenses for retail dispensaries on 4-20-20.

In addition to licensed retail dispensaries, the OLCC also publishes license-holders, by county and firm name, for marijuana processors, wholesalers and producers. The largest number in Oregon was for producers, with 2,099 marijuana business licenses approved. There were also licensed processers (496); wholesalers (330); and testing laboratories (34), according to the OLCC business license database. Business names in this database are disclosed, but not any other data including sales or employment. The Rogue Valley in the Southwestern part of the state, also part of the \u201cEmerald Triangle\u201d \u2013 a prime area for marijuana cultivation \u2013 is home just over one-third of the licensed marijuana producers in Oregon.\u00a0

Using Unemployment Insurance Payroll Employment to Count Marijuana Jobs<\/strong>

From an employment perspective, the Oregon Employment Department has to play a bit of catch-up with these rapid changes. The Oregon Employment Department tracks employment and wages through the Unemployment Insurance (UI) program, which collects data from employers subject to UI law to produce our Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW).

In an effort to track payroll employment at marijuana-related businesses, the Oregon Employment Department has created a database of known marijuana-related recreational and medical dispensaries. The Oregon QCEW unit designates an employer as being marijuana-related if the primary nature of the business is deemed to be marijuana-focused. This includes businesses involved in the growing, processing, and distribution of marijuana and marijuana products, and businesses that support those activities. They use a variety of methods to make this determination, including reviewing information provided by the employer, referencing industry registries like the OLCC license registry, and reading information publicly available online. But it\u2019s not yet a perfect science. Because of marijuana still being illegal in the eyes of the federal government, some establishments are not forthcoming in proclaiming that they are selling marijuana. Dispensaries might have workers who are not counted in that industry.\u00a0 For example, if a dispensary uses a staffing agency to fill their job openings, those workers would be included in the professional and business services industry \u2013 where temporary help or employment placement businesses are counted. A sole proprietor with no employees covered by unemployment insurance would also be excluded from the Oregon Employment Department figures. And the sheer number of new dispensaries create additional challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most recently, the Oregon Employment Department tallied about 310 dispensaries that had jobs covered by unemployment insurance. These are establishments that are in the marijuana industry, but due to imperfect data, and factors such as sole proprietors not required to have unemployment insurance coverage, are missing from our count of cannabis industry jobs. The database of OLCC retail dispensaries with a business license was about three times as many businesses (1,020). Of course every OLCC-licensed business may not be in operation yet, or someone may have a license with plans to open a dispensary in the future. So it\u2019s not an exact comparison when comparing businesses who are licensed with the OLCC and those that we are tracking in our payroll statistics information. Despite the differences, it\u2019s safe to say there are far many more working at Oregon dispensaries than we are capturing in our payroll employment data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To keep up with the changes in the medical\/ recreational distribution of firms in the marijuana industry, we\u2019ve been recoding where recreational dispensaries are counted. Beginning in the first quarter of 2017, we shifted some establishments that were previously counted in the medical dispensary category \u201cbusiness, professional, labor, political, and similar organizations,\u201d a subset of \u201cother services\u201d to \u201call other miscellaneous store retailers,\u201d which is in the retail trade sector. 
According to our most recent information, there were about 300 recreational dispensary establishments with payroll employment in Oregon totaling 3,330 jobs. The broader category that also includes wholesale trade had about 3,500 jobs and average pay of $28,075 in the fourth quarter of 2019. The following graph shows the marijuana-related business totals by broad industry group, as reported by the Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages database.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Licenses and Permits as Indicators of Employment<\/strong>

In other industries where some of the employment is not subject to unemployment insurance laws such as real estate brokers, we can use licensing or other records as an indicator of the level of employment.

Starting July 5, 2016 OLCC began accepting applications for worker permits. These are required of all workers in any marijuana-related firm including temporary and seasonal workers. There is a $100 fee payable upon approval. The permit is valid for five years. As of 8:00 AM April 20, 2020, 86,201 applications had been submitted.

Of those submitted, 54,816 were active, meaning they were approved and paid for. Since the permits are valid for five years, the number of active permits can only go up until they start needing to be renewed. It can be assumed that all applicants have some interest in employment at a marijuana-related business. After the deadline for compliance on April 28th\u00a02017 however, if we assume that all workers are in compliance, the number of active licenses will overstate employment in recreational marijuana. Since permits include temporary and seasonal workers it is not likely that all permitted workers will be employed on any particular day. In addition, since the permits are valid for five years, they do not capture turnover. People who quit, are laid off or otherwise not employed at a marijuana-related business can still have a valid permit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conclusion<\/strong>

According to the Office of Economic Analysis, the recent euphoria over an upward trend in marijuana sales may burn out eventually.\u00a0\u201cAs the impact of these programs (COVID-19-related executive orders, stay-at-home and certain business closures) fade in the months ahead, and bars and restaurants reopen to a larger degree, marijuana sales are expected to mellow. Over the extended forecast horizon, marijuana sales are reduced approximately five percent relative to the previous forecast due to the lower economic outlook. A relatively smaller population indicates fewer potential customers and lower total personal income than previously assumed indicates less consumer demand, all things being equal.\u201d

One of the goals of recreational marijuana legalization was to move marijuana sales from the illicit and black market category into the regulated, tested, tracked and measured market. Despite Oregon legislators and regulators\u2019 increasing unease with vast amounts of marijuana being produced, with an estimated 55 percent of total recreational marijuana demand now being met through legalized sales, the state has had success in capturing a majority share of sales through the medical and recreational programs now in place.

Oregon will continue to refine laws and rules regulating marijuana sales and production. In this fast-growing industry, constant change seems to be the order of the day for the near-term, with a gradual shift to more areas of the U.S. allowing recreational marijuana. It behooves other states to study Oregon\u2019s example and experience in the path to a regulated recreational cannabis market, and begin their own efforts to track employment and impacts of this emerging and increasingly legal sector of the economy.
