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.

The average annual compensation for Other Services (except Public Administration) employees in Texas is $43,059/yr, versus a national average of $43,492/yr. Texas 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 Other Services (except Public Administration) is 10.5%, and while margins do vary by state, the direction of variance usually follows labor cost and establishment size — both shown above.
