Benchmarking Health Care and Social Assistance in Maine

Health Care and Social Assistance (NAICS 622110) in Maine reports 31,374 workers across 41 establishments, with $2.6B of aggregate annual payroll flowing through Census CBP 2023 filings. That represents 0.5% of national employment for this industry — a concentration ratio that tells you whether Maine 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 Health Care and Social Assistance employees in Maine is $83,402/yr, versus a national average of $81,223/yr. Maine 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 Health Care and Social Assistance is not reported, 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 Health Care and Social Assistance national page (entity structure, SBA lending, sub-industries) and the Maine overview (top employers, payroll dispersion across industries).
