81391

Analysis

NAICS 81391 is the 2022 NAICS industry for business associations, part of 8139 (Business, Professional, Labor, Political, and Similar Organizations).

It has only one more detailed code, 813910, which covers exactly the same activities; the definition, index entries and statistics are on that page.

County Business Patterns counts 14,855 US establishments in this code in 2023, employing 105,286 people at an average annual payroll of $99,173 per employee (84th percentile of national industries). 71% of the establishments have fewer than five employees, which marks it as a small-business industry.

Between 2018 and 2023 the number of establishments fell 5% and employment fell 4%. 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 5 codes at this level within Business, Professional, Labor, Political, and Similar Organizations, with 27.2% of them.
