Wage benchmarking is where state-level data earns its keep. The average annual compensation for Professional Employer Organizations employees in Florida is $63,859/yr, versus a national average of $72,164/yr. Florida 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 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.
