What the number means
Nevada had 803 janitorial services in 2023, ranking number 26 among the 50 states and the District of Columbia. Together they employed 9,842 people and paid $274 million in annual payroll, an average of 12.3 employees per site.
These businesses make up 1.04% of every employer establishment in Nevada, above the 0.81% national share. A site count is not the same as the number of companies: a chain with 40 locations counts 40 times.
59% of janitorial services in Nevada have fewer than 5 employees, against 61% across the U.S.
Nevada holds 1.2% of the nation's janitorial services and 0.9% of all U.S. employer establishments, so, measured against the state's overall size, the trade is over-represented. The most common size class is under 5 employees (477 sites). Average payroll per employee is $27,854, against $30,089 for the U.S. trade.

Questions
How many janitorial services are in Nevada?
The Census Bureau's County Business Patterns counted 803 janitorial services with paid employees in Nevada in 2023. That ranks Nevada number 26 among the 50 states and the District of Columbia.
Is the number of janitorial services in Nevada growing?
Between 2017 and 2023 the count grew (16.9%), from 687 to 803. Across the United States the count changed by +12.5% over the same period. These years include the 2020 pandemic.
Does this count include self-employed owners with no staff?
No. County Business Patterns covers establishments with at least one paid employee. A sole proprietor with no employees is counted in a separate Census series called Nonemployer Statistics, which this site does not use yet, so the real number of people working in this trade is higher than the figure shown.
