Benchmarking Transportation and Warehousing in Nevada

Transportation and Warehousing (NAICS 48) in Nevada reports 72,713 workers across 2,272 establishments, with N/A of aggregate annual payroll flowing through Census CBP 2023 filings. That represents 1.1% of national employment for this industry — a concentration ratio that tells you whether Nevada 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. Average payroll per employee data is partial for this state-industry combination; use the Compare to National Average panel below for the fields that are reported.

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 Transportation and Warehousing is 6.0%, 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 Transportation and Warehousing national page (entity structure, SBA lending, sub-industries) and the Nevada overview (top employers, payroll dispersion across industries).
