Wholesale trade jobs and pay by state
Wholesale establishments, paid employees, wholesale trade's share of private-sector jobs, employees per 1,000 residents and average annual pay. From County Business Patterns 2023: establishments with paid employees, employees in the pay period including March 12, and annual payroll. Shares, per-resident figures and average pay are derived by Quadranac (all-sector total: NAICS 00; population: July 1, 2023 estimate). CBP excludes self-employed people, most government employees, private households and (for some sectors) railroads; employment is counted where the establishment is, not where workers live. Blank cells are not published for that state.
