23713

Analysis

NAICS 23713 is the 2022 NAICS industry for power and communication line and related structures construction, part of 2371 (Utility System Construction).

It has only one more detailed code, 237130, which covers exactly the same activities; the definition, index entries and statistics are on that page.

County Business Patterns counts 7,112 US establishments in this code in 2023, employing 292,604 people at an average annual payroll of $90,207 per employee (78th percentile of national industries). 38% of the establishments have fewer than five employees, which is close to the national mix.

Between 2018 and 2023 the number of establishments grew 15% and employment rose 29%. 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.

By establishments it ranks 2nd of the 3 codes at this level within Utility System Construction, with 35.4% of them.
