81143

Analysis

NAICS 81143 is the 2022 NAICS industry for footwear and leather goods repair, part of 8114 (Personal and Household Goods Repair and Maintenance).

It has only one more detailed code, 811430, which covers exactly the same activities; the definition, index entries and statistics are on that page.

Between 2018 and 2023 the number of establishments fell 25% and employment fell 25%. 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 698 US establishments in this code in 2023, employing 1,811 people at an average annual payroll of $36,345 per employee (7th percentile of national industries). 90% of the establishments have fewer than five employees, which marks it as a small-business industry.

By establishments it ranks 4th of the 4 codes at this level within Personal and Household Goods Repair and Maintenance, with 3.1% of them.
