Engineering Services in Washington

Engineering Services (NAICS 541330) in Washington reports 34,507 workers across 1,701 establishments, with N/A of aggregate annual payroll flowing through Census CBP 2023 filings. That represents 2.7% of national employment for this industry, a concentration ratio that tells you whether Washington 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. Washington accounts for 2.7% of the national Engineering Services establishment count (1,701 of 63,233), according to Census County Business Patterns.

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 Engineering 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.
