56291

Analysis

NAICS 56291 is the 2022 NAICS industry for remediation services, part of 5629 (Remediation and Other Waste Management Services).

It has only one more detailed code, 562910, 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 18% and employment rose 11%. 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 5,826 US establishments in this code in 2023, employing 91,239 people at an average annual payroll of $77,347 per employee (65th percentile of national industries). 47% of the establishments have fewer than five employees, which is close to the national mix.

By establishments it ranks 1st of the 3 codes at this level within Remediation and Other Waste Management Services, with 45.3% of them.
