NAICS 2022
81
Other Services (except Public Administration)
Analysis
NAICS 81 is the 2022 sector for other services (except public administration). Census lists 620 example activities under it in the official index.
County Business Patterns counts 807,804 US establishments in this code in 2023, employing 5,616,494 people at an average annual payroll of $43,492 per employee (11th percentile of national industries). 64% of the establishments have fewer than five employees, which marks it as a small-business industry.
Across its national industries Census lists 620 index entries; typical ones are automotive engine repair and replacement shops, automotive brake repair shops, antique and classic automotive restoration and automotive glass shops.
It splits into 4 more detailed codes. The largest by establishments is 813 (Religious, Grantmaking, Civic, Professional, and Similar Organizations) with 309,008.
Its more detailed codes are 811 Repair and Maintenance (226,009 establishments), 812 Personal and Laundry Services (272,787 establishments), 813 Religious, Grantmaking, Civic, Professional, and Similar Organizations (309,008 establishments) and 814 Private Households.
Between 2018 and 2023 the number of establishments grew 5% and employment rose 0%. 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.
