54134

Analysis

NAICS 54134 is the 2022 NAICS industry for drafting services, part of 5413 (Architectural, Engineering, and Related Services).

It has only one more detailed code, 541340, 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 12% and employment rose 8%. 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 2,963 US establishments in this code in 2023, employing 10,108 people at an average annual payroll of $67,800 per employee (49th percentile of national industries). 85% of the establishments have fewer than five employees, which marks it as a small-business industry.

By establishments it ranks 7th of the 8 codes at this level within Architectural, Engineering, and Related Services, with 2.5% of them.
