Analysis
NAICS 1141 is the 2022 industry group for fishing, part of 114 (Fishing, Hunting and Trapping).
It has only one more detailed code, 11411, which covers exactly the same activities; the definition, index entries and statistics are on that page.
County Business Patterns counts 2,503 US establishments in this code in 2023, employing 4,581 people at an average annual payroll of $88,205 per employee (76th percentile of national industries). 94% of the establishments have fewer than five employees, which marks it as a small-business industry.
By establishments it ranks 1st of the 2 codes at this level within Fishing, Hunting and Trapping, with 84.9% of them.
Between 2018 and 2023 the number of establishments fell 3% and employment fell 17%. 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.
