Benchmarking Other Services (except Public Administration) in Louisiana
Other Services (except Public Administration) (NAICS 81) in Louisiana reports 74,285 workers across 9,952 establishments, with $2.9B of aggregate annual payroll flowing through Census CBP 2023 filings. That represents 1.3% of national employment for this industry — a concentration ratio that tells you whether Louisiana 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 Other Services (except Public Administration) employees in Louisiana is $39,310/yr, versus a national average of $43,492/yr. Louisiana 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 Other Services (except Public Administration) is 10.5%, and while margins do vary by state, the direction of variance usually follows labor cost and establishment size — both shown above.
