Analysis
NAICS 54143 is the 2022 NAICS industry for graphic design services, part of 5414 (Specialized Design Services).
It has only one more detailed code, 541430, which covers exactly the same activities; the definition, index entries and statistics are on that page.
County Business Patterns counts 15,828 US establishments in this code in 2023, employing 49,266 people at an average annual payroll of $65,029 per employee (43rd percentile of national industries). 84% of the establishments have fewer than five employees, which marks it as a small-business industry.
By establishments it ranks 2nd of the 4 codes at this level within Specialized Design Services, with 42% of them.
Between 2018 and 2023 the number of establishments grew 0% and employment fell 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.
