Analysis
NAICS 11331 is the 2022 NAICS industry for logging, part of 1133 (Logging).
It has only one more detailed code, 113310, which covers exactly the same activities; the definition, index entries and statistics are on that page.
County Business Patterns counts 7,261 US establishments in this code in 2023, employing 42,916 people at an average annual payroll of $58,215 per employee (30th percentile of national industries). 62% of the establishments have fewer than five employees, which marks it as a small-business industry.
Between 2018 and 2023 the number of establishments fell 9% and employment fell 13%. The 2018 count used NAICS 2017, so part of a large move can come from codes being redefined rather than from businesses opening or closing.
