Nonemployer Statistics is an annual series that provides statistics on U.S. businesses with no paid employees or payroll, are subject to federal income taxes, and have receipts of $1,000 or more ($1 or more for the Construction sector). This program is authorized by the United States Code, Titles 13 and 26. Also, the collection provides data for approximately 450 North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) industries at the national, state, county, metropolitan statistical area, and combined statistical area geography levels. The majority of NAICS industries are included with some exceptions as follows: crop and animal production; investment funds, trusts, and other financial vehicles; management of companies and enterprises; and public administration. Data are also presented by Legal Form of Organization (LFO) (U.S. and state only) as filed with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Most nonemployers are self-employed individuals operating unincorporated businesses (known as sole proprietorships), which may or may not be the owner's principal source of income. Nonemployers Statistics features nonemployers in several arts-related industries and occupations, including the following: Arts, entertainment, and recreation (NAICS Code 71) Performing arts companies Spectator sports Promoters of performing arts, sports, and similar events Independent artists, writers, and performers Museums, historical sites, and similar institutions Amusement parks and arcades Professional, scientific, and technical services (NAICS Code 54) Architectural services Landscape architectural services Photographic services Retail trade (NAICS Code 44-45) Sporting goods, hobby, and musical instrument stores Sewing, needlework, and piece goods stores Book stores Art dealers Nonemployer Statistics data originate from statistical information obtained through business income tax records that the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) provides to the Census Bureau. The data are processed through various automated and analytical review to eliminate employers from the tabulation, correct and complete data items, remove anomalies, and validate geography coding and industry classification. Prior to publication, the noise infusion method is applied to protect individual businesses from disclosure. Noise infusion was first applied to Nonemployer Statistics in 2005. Prior to 2005, data were suppressed using the complementary cell suppression method. For more information on the coverage and methods used in Nonemployer Statistics, refer to NES Methodology. The majority of all business establishments in the United States are nonemployers, yet these firms average less than 4 percent of all sales and receipts nationally. Due to their small economic impact, these firms are excluded from most other Census Bureau business statistics (the primary exception being the Survey of Business Owners). The Nonemployers Statistics series is the primary resource available to study the scope and activities of nonemployers at a detailed geographic level. For complementary statistics on the firms that do have paid employees, refer to the County Business Patterns. Additional sources of data on small businesses include the Economic Census, and the Statistics of U.S. Businesses. The annual Nonemployer Statistics data are available approximately 18 months after each reference year. Data for years since 2002 are published via comma-delimited format (csv) for spreadsheet or database use, and in the American FactFinder (AFF). For help accessing the data, please refer to the Data User Guide.

Here are five examples related to strong average loan growth in US Personal Banking (#5):

1. Mortgage Loans: An increase in demand for mortgage loans contributed to the strong average loan growth in US Personal Banking. Customers taking advantage of low interest rates led to a surge in mortgage applications and approvals.

3. Personal Loans: The availability of personal loans with favorable terms and competitive interest rates attracted borrowers, resulting in strong average loan growth in US Personal Banking. Customers availed personal loans for various purposes such as home improvements, debt consolidation, or financing other personal expenses.

Industry growth has shifted toward select client segments, primarily driven by rising home prices and persistent affordability barriers. As wealthier homeowners substitute existing properties for larger or similarly sized homes, moving service providers are scaling solutions tailored to these market types. This targeted approach has helped companies expand operations and capture revenue growth, even as the industry has lost demand among lower-income households with high prices and low housing inventory. Many moving companies have responded by raising service prices, which affluent clientele are often willing to pay, supporting profit amid a more limited consumer base. Providers have pursued alternate growth avenues, notably in the college market, where students moving to off-campus apartments are becoming the norm. In response, businesses focus on smaller, flexible moving solutions for studio apartments, partnering with schools to secure recurring demand. Flex workspaces have prompted further adaptation, leading companies to develop scheduling models for coworking arrangements and temporary tenancies. Concerns about service quality have intensified, prompting a renewed focus on safety and protection of goods. While selective relocations have contributed to revenue gains, profit growth has remained regulated since 2020, reflecting the effects of segmented consumer bases. The industry revenue went up by a CAGR of 2.8% over the five years to 2025, with revenue reaching $23.4 billion and a 0.6% increase in 2025. The industry is poised to contend with a changing market landscape. Small and midsize business relocations require expanded operational capacity and services that accommodate specialized or heavier goods. Partnerships for senior relocations and targeting new teacher housing developments are expected to provide reliable growth channels in distinct regions. Military sector contract reforms suggest a more competitive environment, opening doors for smaller and regional movers to compete. Industry revenue is projected to grow at a CAGR of 1.5% over the five years to 2030, reaching $25.3 billion, as companies adapt and diversify offerings to capture selective demand across premium residential, college and business segments, while maintaining close attention to quality and service excellence.
