Finance and Insurance in Nevada

Finance and Insurance (NAICS 52) in Nevada reports 47,413 workers across 4,600 establishments, with $4.1B of aggregate annual payroll flowing through Census CBP 2023 filings. That represents 0.7% 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. The average annual compensation for Finance and Insurance employees in Nevada is $87,043/yr, versus a national average of $125,425/yr. Nevada 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 Finance and Insurance is 20.1%, and while margins do vary by state, the direction of variance usually follows labor cost and establishment size — both shown above.
