Commercial Banking in Wisconsin

Commercial Banking (NAICS 522110) in Wisconsin reports 26,442 workers across 1,684 establishments, with $2.3B of aggregate annual payroll flowing through Census CBP 2023 filings. That represents 1.6% of national employment for this industry, a concentration ratio that tells you whether Wisconsin 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. Wisconsin accounts for 2.0% of the national Commercial Banking establishment count (1,684 of 82,989), according to Census County Business Patterns.

Wage benchmarking is where state-level data earns its keep. The average annual compensation for Commercial Banking employees in Wisconsin is $87,708/yr, versus a national average of $107,216/yr. Wisconsin 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 Commercial Banking is not reported, and while margins do vary by state, the direction of variance usually follows labor cost and establishment size, both shown above.
