49311

Analysis

NAICS 49311 is the 2022 NAICS industry for general warehousing and storage, part of 4931 (Warehousing and Storage).

It has only one more detailed code, 493110, 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 36% and employment rose 80%. 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.

County Business Patterns counts 16,753 US establishments in this code in 2023, employing 1,514,034 people at an average annual payroll of $50,388 per employee (18th percentile of national industries). 31% of the establishments have fewer than five employees, which is close to the national mix.

By establishments it ranks 1st of the 4 codes at this level within Warehousing and Storage, with 77.8% of them.
