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.

Wage benchmarking is where state-level data earns its keep. The average annual compensation for Employment Services employees in Arizona is $49,157/yr, versus a national average of $60,555/yr. Arizona pays below the national average for this industry, common in lower cost-of-living states or where the industry has a smaller, less specialized local workforce.

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 Employment Services is 3.1%, and while margins do vary by state, the direction of variance usually follows labor cost and establishment size, both shown above. For a complete picture, pair this state-industry view with the Employment Services national page (entity structure, SBA lending, sub-industries) and the Arizona overview (top employers, payroll dispersion across industries).
