Summary

Other Services (NAICS sector 81) encompasses a broad range of industries including personal services, repair and maintenance, civic organizations, and other specialized activities. In FY2026, the sector filed 820 H-1B petitions, continuing its participation in the H-1B sponsorship program.

Across all years on record, Other Services accounts for 38,240 total H-1B filings sponsored by 3,364 distinct employers. This wide employer base relative to annual filing volume suggests that H-1B sponsorship in this sector is distributed across many smaller and mid-sized organizations rather than concentrated in a few large sponsors. The modest annual filings indicate selective use of the H-1B visa program to fill specific skilled labor gaps in specialized services roles.
