23899

Analysis

NAICS 23899 is the 2022 NAICS industry for all other specialty trade contractors, part of 2389 (Other Specialty Trade Contractors).

It has only one more detailed code, 238990, which covers exactly the same activities; the definition, index entries and statistics are on that page.

Between 2018 and 2023 the number of establishments grew 22% and employment rose 24%. 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 1st of the 2 codes at this level within Other Specialty Trade Contractors, with 50.6% of them.

County Business Patterns counts 42,748 US establishments in this code in 2023, employing 309,293 people at an average annual payroll of $70,871 per employee (54th percentile of national industries). 67% of the establishments have fewer than five employees, which marks it as a small-business industry.
