Analysis
NAICS 7113 is the 2022 industry group for promoters of performing arts, sports, and similar events, part of 711 (Performing Arts, Spectator Sports, and Related Industries). Census lists 161 example activities under it in the official index.
County Business Patterns counts 9,305 US establishments in this code in 2023, employing 184,353 people at an average annual payroll of $41,794 per employee (10th percentile of national industries). 65% of the establishments have fewer than five employees, which marks it as a small-business industry.
Between 2018 and 2023 the number of establishments grew 15% and employment fell 5%. 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.
Across its national industries Census lists 161 index entries; typical ones are air show managers with facilities and agricultural fair managers without facilities.
It splits into 2 more detailed codes. The largest by establishments is 71132 (Promoters of Performing Arts, Sports, and Similar Events without Facilities) with 5,031.
