Summary

Other Services (NAICS 81) encompasses repair, maintenance, personal care, religious, civic, and miscellaneous professional services. The sector has filed 39,285 H-1B petitions across 3,718 distinct employers all-time, with 1,865 filings in FY2026 alone.

The broad employer base—nearly 3,700 companies—suggests H-1B sponsorship is distributed across many small to mid-sized operators rather than concentrated in a handful of large firms. This indicates persistent, dispersed labour demand across diverse service roles and geographies. The sustained petition volume reflects the sector's reliance on specialty occupations where U.S. labour supply remains constrained.
