Benchmarking Employment Services in Florida
Employment Services (NAICS 5613) in Florida reports 1,918,405 workers across 4,011 establishments, with $118.8B of aggregate annual payroll flowing through Census CBP 2023 filings. That represents 24.6% of national employment for this industry, a concentration ratio that tells you whether Florida 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. The average annual compensation for Employment Services employees in Florida is $61,952/yr, versus a national average of $60,555/yr. Florida 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 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 Florida overview (top employers, payroll dispersion across industries).
