Benchmarking New Car Dealers in Texas
New Car Dealers (NAICS 441110) in Texas reports 106,708 workers across 1,720 establishments, with $9.2B of aggregate annual payroll flowing through Census CBP 2023 filings.

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. Texas accounts for 7.9% of the national New Car Dealers establishment count (1,720 of 21,910), according to Census County Business Patterns.
Wage benchmarking is where state-level data earns its keep. The average annual compensation for New Car Dealers employees in Texas is $85,825/yr, versus a national average of $79,300/yr. Texas pays above the national average for this industry, which usually reflects higher skill concentration, union density, or regional cost of living.
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 New Car Dealers 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 New Car Dealers national page (entity structure, SBA lending, sub-industries) and the Texas overview (top employers, payroll dispersion across industries).
