Benchmarking Individual and Family Services in West Virginia
Individual and Family Services (NAICS 6241) in West Virginia reports 16,121 workers across 579 establishments, with $405.4M of aggregate annual payroll flowing through Census CBP 2023 filings. That represents 0.7% of national employment for this industry, a concentration ratio that tells you whether West Virginia 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 Individual and Family Services employees in West Virginia is $25,147/yr, versus a national average of $33,869/yr. West Virginia 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 Individual and Family 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 Individual and Family Services national page (entity structure, SBA lending, sub-industries) and the West Virginia overview (top employers, payroll dispersion across industries).
