Other Services (except Public Administration)
NAICS Sector 81
The average number of workers in the Other Services sector industry increased 1.3% from 2024 to 2025. Employment gains of 176 generated new levels for the industry, with an annual average of 13,396 in 2025. The establishments in this sector are made up of businesses which typically have small-scale employment levels. The annual pay for this sector increased $2,147 (4.6%) for a new average of $48,583 in 2025.
The Other Services industry sector incorporates a collection of establishments which offer a blend of services and amenities. Four subsectors are featured in the Other Services sector:
- Repair and Maintenance (NAICS 811)
- Personal and Laundry Services (NAICS 812)
- Religious, Grantmaking, Civic, Professional, and Similar Organizations (NAICS 813)
- Private Households (NAICS 814)
The Religious, Grantmaking, Civic, Professional, and Similar Organizations subsector had positive employment growth in 2025. This subsector has had five consecutive years of increases, rebounding from 2020. This subsector had the sharpest employment growth for this sector. The number of workers increased by 109 to arrive at the new total of 4,392, an 2.5% growth rate. Back in 2020, worker losses amounted to 264. Average annual wages also prospered at a pace of 6.6% in 2025, reaching $49,559. These professional establishments are usually non-profit, tax-exempt entities that promote and defend member interests, advocate countless social and political causes, provide religious-charitable services, or support ample initiatives through grantmaking.
Community action advocacy groups and social change activism associations are social advocacy organizations promoting a particular cause or working for the fulfillment of a distinctive social or political goal to benefit a wide-ranging constituency. Revenue is generated through donations, dues, grants, and fundraising efforts. These organizations serve as pillars for community building, industry standards setting, and social advocacy. Memberships and contributions remain active, supporting the interests of people working in these professions so they can minister in serving the public. Existing businesses continue adding to the payrolls, elevating the employment levels for this industry.
There were 85 workers added in the Repair and Maintenance subsector. The number of workers settled at 5,334 in 2025, a 1.6% growth rate. The average annual wage also grew. The yearly wage per worker increased $1,653 (3.0%) to $56,688. Employment and wage figures consistently increase year after year. The establishments in this subsector recondition and refurbish commercial and industrial machinery, equipment, and other products to operational order. These establishments also typically provide general or routine maintenance (i.e., servicing) on such products to ensure they work efficiently and provide cost-effective measures to prevent breakdowns and unnecessary repairs so that life expectancy can be extended. Many establishments serve both businesses and personal households, safeguarding a nice complementary customer base. Some firms primarily serve either businesses or households; however, separation by class of customer is limited by the fact that many establishments serve both.
Commercial and industrial machinery and equipment repair establishments were the major contributors of worker gains during 2025. These firms' specialized services include welding, machinery overhaul, and maintenance of agricultural, construction, mining, and food processing equipment. Examples of services provided in this industry include boiler repair, conveyor system maintenance, and commercial refrigerator repair. General automotive and maintenance repair establishments showed worker growth during 2025 and were contributors to this area of maintenance. Car repair, diesel engine repair, and recreational vehicle (RV) repair workshops opened new businesses in 2025, adding to the worker levels. Vehicle components are computerized and becoming more complex, requiring specific repair service. Establishments offer a range of vehicle services and capabilities to meet the demands for consumer vehicle repairs.
The Personal and Laundry Services subsectors averaged 3,500 workers in 2025, an increase of 9 workers. The annual average wage increased by $1,224 to $35,779 from $34,555 in 2024. This subsector's establishments provide personal and laundry services to individuals, households, and businesses. Personal services come in a mixture of methods, but all include a performance of action instead of a supply of goods. Services performed include laundry and dry-cleaning services, linen and uniform supply businesses, and a wide range of other personal services, such as pet care (except veterinary), photofinishing, temporary parking, life coaching, personal shopping, and party planning. Most of these service establishments added workers to their rosters, while a few had minor decreases. Consumers continue to enjoy treating themselves. Many other subsectors provide services to people and are classified under different sectors.
Private Households saw a decrease in employment. The subsector felt a loss of 25 workers, decreasing to a total of 171 workers. Annual wages averaged $32,503. These are private households which employ domestic personnel on or about the premises in activities primarily concerned with the operation of the household. They employ workers such as cooks, maids, nannies, butlers, cleaning people, private nurses, and outdoor workers such as gardeners, caretakers, and other maintenance workers. This industry tends to have a steady, small workforce overall. Childcare personnel and nannies account for the majority of the workers for this industry group. Families with working parents and busy schedules need the services offered by childcare providers. This industry is not a single, unified entity, but rather a collection of various roles and tasks performed within private residences. These workers may be compensated hourly, or on a salaried or per-job basis. These households may report inconsistent employment figures due to part-time or limited work schedules.
