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 Accommodation and Food Services employees in Michigan is $22,060/yr, versus a national average of $24,695/yr. Michigan 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 Accommodation and Food Services is 5.3%, and while margins do vary by state, the direction of variance usually follows labor cost and establishment size — both shown above.
