Analysis
NAICS 71131 is the 2022 NAICS industry for promoters of performing arts, sports, and similar events with facilities, part of 7113 (Promoters of Performing Arts, Sports, and Similar Events).
It has only one more detailed code, 711310, which covers exactly the same activities; the definition, index entries and statistics are on that page.
County Business Patterns counts 4,274 US establishments in this code in 2023, employing 144,748 people at an average annual payroll of $34,306 per employee (6th percentile of national industries). 53% of the establishments have fewer than five employees, which is close to the national mix.
Between 2018 and 2023 the number of establishments grew 20% 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.
By establishments it ranks 2nd of the 2 codes at this level within Promoters of Performing Arts, Sports, and Similar Events, with 45.9% of them.
