Elementary and Secondary Schools in Maryland

Elementary and Secondary Schools (NAICS 611110) in Maryland reports 24,578 workers across 442 establishments, with $1.2B of aggregate annual payroll flowing through Census CBP 2023 filings.

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. Maryland accounts for 1.9% of the national Elementary and Secondary Schools establishment count (442 of 23,201), according to Census County Business Patterns.

Wage benchmarking is where state-level data earns its keep. The average annual compensation for Elementary and Secondary Schools employees in Maryland is $49,915/yr, versus a national average of $48,283/yr. Maryland 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 Elementary and Secondary Schools is not reported, and while margins do vary by state, the direction of variance usually follows labor cost and establishment size, both shown above.
