Benchmarking Educational Services in Rhode Island

Educational Services (NAICS 611) in Rhode Island reports 30,561 workers across 460 establishments, with $1.4B of aggregate annual payroll flowing through Census CBP 2023 filings. That represents 0.8% of national employment for this industry — a concentration ratio that tells you whether Rhode Island 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 Educational Services employees in Rhode Island is $47,227/yr, versus a national average of $50,335/yr. Rhode Island 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 Educational Services 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 Educational Services national page (entity structure, SBA lending, sub-industries) and the Rhode Island overview (top employers, payroll dispersion across industries).
