About This Data
Every figure comes from the BLS Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages, which counts nearly every U.S. employer through unemployment-insurance filings. We show private-sector annual averages. Some state cells are withheld by BLS to protect individual employers; we mark those as not disclosed and never estimate them.
Why it's here: AI companies pay for real operating data, and these numbers show how much of it each industry creates. Builder Data helps established firms find out what theirs could be worth. Business data only, never personal data.
