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 Limited-Service Restaurants employees in Indiana is $17,803/yr, versus a national average of $20,857/yr. Indiana 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 Limited-Service Restaurants is not reported, and while margins do vary by state, the direction of variance usually follows labor cost and establishment size, both shown above.
