Benchmarking Professional Employer Organizations in Colorado

Professional Employer Organizations (NAICS 561330) in Colorado reports 44,699 workers across 81 establishments, with N/A of aggregate annual payroll flowing through Census CBP 2023 filings. That represents 1.2% of national employment for this industry, a concentration ratio that tells you whether Colorado 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.

Wage benchmarking is where state-level data earns its keep. Average payroll per employee data is partial for this state-industry combination; use the Compare to National Average panel below for the fields that are reported.

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 Professional Employer Organizations is not reported, 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 Professional Employer Organizations national page (entity structure, SBA lending, sub-industries) and the Colorado overview (top employers, payroll dispersion across industries).
