Other Services (except Public Administration) in New Jersey

Other Services (except Public Administration) (NAICS 81) in New Jersey reports 154,457 workers across 24,399 establishments, with $6.2B of aggregate annual payroll flowing through Census CBP 2023 filings. That represents 2.8% of national employment for this industry — a concentration ratio that tells you whether New Jersey 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 New Jersey is $40,112/yr, versus a national average of $43,492/yr. New Jersey 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.
