Engineering Services in Arizona

Engineering Services (NAICS 541330) in Arizona reports 24,021 workers across 1,345 establishments, with $2.7B of aggregate annual payroll flowing through Census CBP 2023 filings. That represents 1.9% of national employment for this industry, a concentration ratio that tells you whether Arizona is a primary labor market for this NAICS code or a smaller satellite. A share above 5% signals a meaningful regional cluster; below 1% usually means the state is not a structural fit for this industry at scale. Arizona accounts for 2.1% of the national Engineering Services establishment count (1,345 of 63,233), according to Census County Business Patterns.

Wage benchmarking is where state-level data earns its keep. The average annual compensation for Engineering Services employees in Arizona is $112,929/yr, versus a national average of $109,949/yr. Arizona pays above the national average for this industry, which usually reflects higher skill concentration, union density, or regional cost of living.

Profitability data is only available at the national level because the IRS Statistics of Income program does not publish state-level margin breakdowns. The national net profit margin for Engineering Services is not reported, and while margins do vary by state, the direction of variance usually follows labor cost and establishment size, both shown above.
