Reading the table. "Firms" = annual-average establishment count (a firm with multiple locations counts as multiple establishments). "Avg Pay" is per-employee wages including bonuses (not owner draw — for proprietorships, the owner's take is largely outside this number). "LQ" is BLS's location quotient on establishment count — a quick read on whether an industry over- or under-indexes in a state. YoY % = year-over-year change in establishment count from 2023 to 2024.
