BLS QCEW, 2026Q1

The figures above are County Business Patterns, which carries the size distribution but runs about two years behind. The Bureau of Labor Statistics publishes quarterly, so this is the same industry roughly 3 years later. The two count different universes, Census counts establishments with paid employees in the March pay period and BLS counts worksites covered by unemployment insurance during the quarter, so the numbers are not directly comparable and either can be the larger.

What acquirers look at

Storm-driven revenue is lumpy and insurance-dependent; recurring commercial maintenance contracts are the durable part. Diligence should isolate re-roof versus repair mix.
