Analysis
NAICS 31322 is the 2022 NAICS industry for narrow fabric mills and schiffli machine embroidery, part of 3132 (Fabric Mills).
It has only one more detailed code, 313220, which covers exactly the same activities; the definition, index entries and statistics are on that page.
County Business Patterns counts 173 US establishments in this code in 2023, employing 4,926 people at an average annual payroll of $47,209 per employee (15th percentile of national industries). 33% of the establishments have fewer than five employees, which is close to the national mix.
Between 2018 and 2023 the number of establishments fell 2% and employment fell 14%. 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 3rd of the 4 codes at this level within Fabric Mills, with 23.5% of them.
