The marijuana industry looks like the fastest-growing job market in the U.S
The marijuana industry added 64,389 jobs in 2018, a 44 percent gain, according to industry experts Leafly and Whitney Economics.
Economists believe the U.S. job market overall is getting tight, evidenced by the 20,000 growth in payrolls for February
Job creation is expected to grow as more states legalize pot. Nick Colas at DataTrek Research said cannabis is the “fastest-growing labor market in the U.S.”

At a time when the rest of the labor market appears to be tightening
up, the marijuana industry is just getting started when it comes to job
creation, according to a recent report.
Pot manufacturers and distributors, on both the recreational and
medicinal sides, saw massive job creation in 2018, with 64,389 new
positions added to the rolls. That brings to 211,000 the number of jobs
directly related to the industry, part of a total of 296,000 in all
related areas combined, industry site Leafly said in a report it compiled with Whitney Economics.
The U.S. economy in total created about 2.7 million new jobs in 2018,
according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, which does not count
cannabis-related hiring because the substance is still considered a
Schedule 1 narcotic at the federal level.
Hiring slowed to a crawl in February, with payrolls growing by just 20,000.
That came even though the BLS said there were 7.3 million job openings
against just 6.3 million considered unemployed in December, the most
recent month for which data were available.

“Amid the roiling debate over American jobs, the legal cannabis
industry remains a substantial and unrecognized engine of grassroots job
creation,” the report’s authors wrote. “In 2019, America’s cannabis
industry is one of the nation’s greatest economic success stories. That
success deserves to be recognized and celebrated.”
The document was written by Bruce Barcott, Leafly’s deputy editor, and Whitney Economics founder Beau Whitney.
Because there is no official count the report had to use some
unconventional methods to estimate the jobs total. They utilized state
data, industry surveys, information from operators, proprietary data and
other economic formulas.
What they found was stunning: a 44 percent gain in the workforce for
2018 that came on top of a 21 percent increase the previous year.
At 211,000, the total number of jobs compares favorably to other more
mainstream occupations: there were 131,430 chefs in the country, for
instance, along with 65,760 aerospace engineers and 40,000 computer
operators, according to the most recent BLS counts.
“US marijuana legalization is a rare example of disruption creating
jobs rather than destroying them,” Nick Colas, co-founder of DataTrek
Research, said in a note Thursday that highlighted some of the cannabis
jobs data. “With the US labor market recently showing signs of weakness
and fears of an eventual recession in the wings, this is one industry
that might soften the blow of an economic downturn.”
Colas expects pot-related job creation to continue as more states
legalize the substance. He called cannabis “the fastest-growing labor
market in the U.S.”
Along with the bottom-line gains, the industry’s growth also offers
an alternative to the push for young Americans to get a college degree,
which has led to an explosion of student loan debt that now totals
nearly $1.6 trillion.
“Americans with a college degree are basically at full employment,
but most Americans do not have those credentials and their participation
rates are lower than the former,” Colas wrote. “The marijuana industry
offers solid paying positions at all levels of experience and
educational attainment.”
Colas cited Glassdoor data showing that median pay in the cannabis
industry is 11 percent above the median U.S. salary of $52,863.
“Budtenders,” the staff members who work directly with customers,
generally earn $12 to $16 an hour, according to the site that allows
current and former employees to review their workplaces and list typical
salaries.
At the other end of the spectrum, cultivation and extraction
directors and outside sales representatives can earn well into six
figures.

100% owned Gold Hill property located in the Boulder Creek drainage, a tributary of the Wildhorse River
4 diamond drill holes on two sections totaling 2,087 meters of drilling. Nine hundred and twenty nine (929) drill core samples
This is the first time area has been drilled. The program successfully intersected multiple zones of gold.
A high grade intersection in hole NS18-01 contained 66.4 g/t gold over 0.2 meters (true width unknown)
Cardston, Alberta–(Newsfile Corp. – March 15, 2019) – American Creek Resources Ltd.
(TSXV: AMK) (“American Creek”) is pleased to report on drilling results
from the late fall exploration program conducted on its 100% owned Gold
Hill property located in the Boulder Creek drainage, a tributary of the
Wildhorse River east of Fort Steele, British Columbia. The preliminary
program included four diamond drill holes on two sections totaling 2,087
meters of drilling. Nine hundred and twenty nine (929) drill core
samples were analyzed.
The management and professionals that
guided the exploration program are pleased and very encouraged by the
results. There were multiple gold intersections in all 4 preliminary
drill holes. A summary of the significant intersections and gold values
is contained herein.
The 2018 drill program was conducted to test
a Cretaceous age swarm of syenite porphyry dykes intruded into lower
and middle Cambrian sediments. This is the first time that this package
of rocks has ever been drilled. The drill program successfully
intersected multiple zones of gold associated with several syenite dike
targets as well as significant intervals of highly altered, silicified
rock. In addition, there were several intersections of highly altered
and, in some cases, calcareous sediments, some of which contained
elevated gold values. These altered sediments will be further explored
for gold content. They will also be useful as marker horizons guiding
future drilling.
A high grade intersection in hole NS18-01
contained 66.4 g/t gold over 0.2 meters (true width unknown). This
intersection correlates with prior historic gold values obtained in the
area. Car samples and face samples from a drift (small tunnel) driven
partially along the hanging wall of a syenite porphyry dyke in 1937 were
assayed over a width of 1.5 feet (~0.5m). The car samples averaged
0.43 oz. Au per ton (13.4 g/t), 0.48 oz. (14.9g/t) Ag per ton and 2.3%
Pb per ton over 40 feet (12.2m). The face samples along 22 feet (6.7m)
averaged at 2.4 oz. Au per ton (74.6 g/t) 2.17 oz. (67.5 g/t) Ag per
ton and 5.51% Pb.
The Gold Hill property covers approximately 836
hectares and is located along the eastern edge of the Kimberly Gold
Trend. The property is road accessible by paved highway to Fort Steele
and then by main logging roads to (and through) the property. Driving
time from Cranbrook to the center of the property is less than one hour.
The
property contains a significant portion of the Boulder Creek drainage, a
tributary of the Wild Horse River which is considered to be one of the
greatest placer gold rivers in the entire province. Gold rushes have
taken place there since the 1860’s that have yielded over 48 tonnes of
reported gold, making it Canada’s 4th largest placer producer. The
majority of the gold recovered from the Wild Horse was located along a 6
km stretch between Boulder Creek (upstream) and Brewery Creek
(downstream). From the point where Boulder Creek enters the Wild Horse
River for a distance of 6 kilometers downstream, a minimum of 1.5
million ounces (45,655,215 grams) of placer gold was recovered between
1864 and the 1930’s. In addition, an undetermined amount of placer gold
was sold in the United States during this period but no records of the
amount are available. The Boulder Creek drainage is the logical source
of the placer gold recovered from the Wildhorse River below.
Early
efforts by prospectors to locate the source of the Wild Horse placer
gold led explorers up Boulder Creek to what is now called the Gold Hill
property. Although lode gold was first found in the area by prospectors
in the late 1800’s, the Gold Hill property has not been the subject of
any systematic modern exploration and prior to this program, the
property has never been drill tested.
Significant Intercepts from Preliminary 2018 Drill Program
Gold
values, as tested by initial ICP analysis, range from slightly less
than 0.5 g/t to 5.68 g/t. With reference to sample 043174 in hole
NS18-01, where the initial analysis placed gold at >30,000 ppb (30.0
g/t), total metal analysis of the same sample returned a value of 66.4
g/t. To date, this is the only sample that has been analyzed for total
metal. It was originally selected because of the proximal galena and
visible gold.
Historical work on the property has noted the
presence of metallic gold in samples that is not detected by
conventional ICP analysis. A skilled, well trained and experienced
Prospector discusses this phenom in Assessment Report 27,173 (Dec. 29,
2004). Again, in AR 34,920, (July 2015) a P. Geo. explained the presence
of metallic gold. The following is a direct quote from AR 34,920 by the
highly experienced P. Geo. who mapped the property: “work by the
original prospectors and miners on the property from 1898 to 1957 did a
good job of exposing gold-bearing structures and the related sulphides
and gangue minerals. This work demonstrated the course nature of the gold which is commonly visible to the naked eye.”
In
light of the strong possibility that metallic gold was missed by the
initial assaying, further assay work including advanced testing for
metallics will be conducted. As a first step, 12 samples, all of which
indicate significant gold values, have been selected for total metal
analysis. The company is looking forward to receiving the total metal
gold value for the 12 samples selected for this purpose. The results
will be available when the additional assay analysis is completed.
There is some correlation between anomalous Pb in the samples with higher gold values however, they do not always correlate.
Frank
O’Grady, P. Eng. and QP for the project stated: “This first look at the
underground geological structure in the Big Chief area of the property
is very encouraging. Not only are we seeing gold associated with
multiple syenite dyke contacts, but we are also seeing gold showing up
in the highly altered sediments. To have intersected gold in every hole,
especially since we had no prior drill holes on the property to guide
us, indicates the potential scope and scale of the property’s potential
going forward. We clearly have a large gold system we are dealing with
here.”
Darren Blaney, CEO of American Creek stated: “This is a
significant first step in unravelling the mystery of the potential
source of the large quantity of Wild Horse river placer gold collected
downstream. Not only are we seeing widespread gold mineralization on
surface, but we now also have our first glimpse at what is going on
underneath a portion of the property. This preliminary program will be a
tremendous aid in guiding future work on the project.”
There are two main highly prospective targets on the property:
1.
The Midas / Gold Hill prospect which is situated on the southern part
of the property. The Midas is in an area of steep topography and is
structurally controlled.
2. The Big Chief prospect which is
situated on the northern portion of the property. The Big Chief is
located on an area of moderate relief and is formed by hydrothermal
activity from intruded syenite dikes of Cretaceous age.
The
property is nominally divided into north and south portions by Boulder
Creek which flows westerly through the property. This phase of the
exploration program focused solely on a portion of the Big Chief
prospect. The highly prospective area of the property situated south of
Boulder Creek was not explored during 2018. This southern area, which
includes high grade gold values in grab samples including 25.14 g/t from
the Guggenheim showing, will be included in 2019 exploration.
Initial
logging of the core combined with sample results has provided a basic
understanding of the underground geological structure as well as the
gold and accompanying metals present in the previously undrilled package
or rocks underlying the Big Chief showings.
Sections containing
increased Au, sometimes Ag and in several cases increased base metals
which include Pb, Cu and Zn are contained in sections of intense
alteration. This alteration includes, but may not be limited to,
silicification, sericitization, carbonatization (in some places) and
increased epidote.
The core will be carefully re-examined during
2019 with key sections being relogged. The initial logging was done
under inclement conditions including low temperatures and poor light and
without the benefit of any prior drill core assays for reference.

Ripple has announced that it will launch a $100 million fund in collaboration with Forte,
a San Francisco-based startup that is aiming to leverage the economic
models of blockchain systems to build better economies and marketplaces
in the gaming industry.
Forte will oversee the fund that will be allocated towards the integration of blockchain technology
with in-game markets that will allow players to make transactions with
each other more conveniently. In the past, users have often moved to
third-party platforms to sell in-game items.
Speaking to Fortune, Ethan Beard, a senior executive at Ripple’s development division Xpring, is hopeful about blockchain making gaming economies more equitable:
Video games have long been quick to
adopt new technology, from console to the PC to mobile. Now, blockchain
will help game designers who’ve had a hard time facilitating an economy
that can serve all types of players.
As the Fortune article notes, this is an expansion for Ripple, which have previously made a lot of progress in the cross-border payments niche. Should game developers get on board, the use of Ripple’s Interledger Protocol and the XRP token would give Ripple an enormous amount of exposure.
Forte was founded by Kevin Chou,
an entrepreneur with experience in the gaming space. Chou was the Chief
Executive Officer of mobile-focused Kabam and esports company Gen.G.
Forte is backed by the likes of Andreesen Horowitz, Coinbase Ventures
and Battery Ventures.
In Chou’s announcement post, he said of the direct interactions between stakeholders in the system:
I envision a future where players can
transact with each other directly instead of only with the developer. A
future where developers don’t need to figure out the maximum value they
can extract from their player base, but instead are creatively and
economically motivated to foster new types of peer-to-peer gameplay.

Online platforms a step towards democratizing the education sector
Govt is urging colleges to offer online courses in rural India so that education reaches all
Online programmes are set to grow and we will see lots of innovation in the coming years
From ordering vegetables online to ordering classes online, we have
travelled a long way! The Internet of Things and digital transformations
have given us shocks as well as pleasant surprises. Like any other
industry, the wave of digital technology and improving bandwidths has
affected the education sector as well. Both the demand and the supply
side are witnessing an impact. Online education in
India has seen active growth over the last decade. The factors that
have led to this growth are better telecom and internet bandwidths
across India leading to growth in the usage of smartphones and hand-held
devices, advancement in video conferencing technologies, advent of
technology platforms for seamless transfers, and an ever-increasing need
for skill certification remotely and at the convenience of the student.
The consumer centricity that we have observed in conventional
product/service marketing is now being seen in education through online
programmes offered by reputed institutes in India. Online programmes can
be paid or free (famously known as MOOC, as in massive open online courses).
Online programmes can be live mode where faculty and students are
online at the same time. There are also recorded versions where the
participants can watch the class on the go at their convenience. Both
these types have their merits and demerits. The biggest factors
contributing to the growth of online programmes are its deep
penetration, convenience of learning infrastructure, skill upgradation need, and career break gaps.
The government is encouraging colleges to offer online courses in
rural India to ensure that education reaches all. Online programmes give
an opportunity to all to learn from institutes of repute. For
autonomous institutes, the deep penetration and reach of online
programmes is a step towards democratization of education and equal
opportunities for all, irrespective of their geographical location. The
other factor contributing to the growth is the convenience that online
courses offer to the participants where they can learn from any
hand-held device at their time and without leaving their jobs. This is
only getting easier with the improvement in bandwidths and penetration
of smartphones and mobile services. The third factor that has led to the
growth of online programmes is the element of constant change. Working
professionals enrol in niche and domain-specific online programmes to
upgrade their skills, learn new skills, or relearn conceptual areas of
work. The most interesting segment that has emerged over the last few
years is the segment of mostly women and some men who have taken career
breaks. These are women who have taken a maternity break and after a few
years want to get back to their professional life. For these people,
online programmes are a blessing and help them fill the gap created and
help them prepare for second term of their careers.
One more emerging segment is that of startups. Many startup owners’
sign up for online programmes as they lack certain skill sets and these
courses are an easy and effective way to learn and get certification.
As we grow in this space, institutes are reinventing and upgrading
online programmes in course content, delivery platforms, pedagogies, and
innovation. In programmes that I offer, there is a lot of usage of
videos, TED talks, in-class group exercise, and live discussions.
Online programmes are set to grow and we will see lots of innovation
in the coming years. The biggest factor pushing the growth is technology
infrastructure, cost, flexibility, and convenience. The advantage of
this growth will be in reach of education and specialized skills reaching everywhere. Online programmes are here to stay!

One of Australia’s largest high-grade nickel producers
Western Areas (ASX: WSA), reported a significant increase in inbound off-take inquiries for nickel sulphide concentrate post current contract periods.
According to the company’s managing director, Dan Lougher, this new
trend is primarily linked to the accelerating electric vehicle battery
sector.
Addressing the second day of the Paydirt 2019 Battery Minerals
Conference in Perth, Lougher said some of the new inquiry was driven in
part by the company’s second largest offtake partner, China’s largest
stainless steel producer, Tsingshan.
“Players looking to lock in new long-term contracts will be doing so
at a time technological changes in the battery space are favouring the
new NCM 811 classification (Nickel, Cobalt, Manganese) which research
indicates will be the fastest growing battery combination by 2025,â€
Lougher said. “These battery cells offer better energy density, allowing
fewer and/or lower weight batteries in cars — but they will require
even more nickel.â€
Nickel. Photo from Wikimedia Commons.
The executive noted that the need for nickel is starting to rise at a
time when its price is too low to incentivize new project development,
something that can take up to three years. In his view, this means that
supply markets are likely to diverge and split between stainless steel, a
sector that consumes 72% of global nickel production, and EV demand,
which currently accounts for 4% of total global nickel consumption but
has been growing by 30-40% a year.
“In addition, nickel supply pressure is being exacerbated by
non-ferrous alloys which command 10% of total global markets but are
booming due to strong growth in aerospace industries and a recovery in
oil and gas investment internationally,†Lougher said.
According to the director, all these demand pressures should call for
higher nickel prices. He said one particular force pushing for a higher
price tag is the fact that the chemistry for lithium-ion batteries
favours nickel sulphide styles but very little of the known nickel
sulphide ore bodies worldwide are left to be developed.
“This lack of these ore bodies was already an issue for the nickel
industry so if EVs are to become a reality in day-to-day motoring, then
higher nickel prices will be required. The new demand nickel units will
have to be sourced increasingly from nickel laterites which are victim
to higher processing costs,†he said.
