Analysis
NAICS 6112 is the 2022 industry group for junior colleges, part of 611 (Educational Services).
It has only one more detailed code, 611210, which covers exactly the same activities; the definition, index entries and statistics are on that page.
County Business Patterns counts 693 US establishments in this code in 2023, employing 48,056 people at an average annual payroll of $44,636 per employee (13th percentile of national industries). 17% of the establishments have fewer than five employees, which points to larger operations.
By establishments it ranks 7th of the 7 codes at this level within Educational Services, with 0.6% of them.
Between 2018 and 2023 the number of establishments fell 12% and employment fell 17%. 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.
