What Is the Nonemployer Marine Economy?

From sea to shining sea, with the Great Lakes in between, U.S. coastal areas provide cargo handling, port operations, fishing, shipbuilding/repairs, navigational services and vacation accommodations. All are integral to the U.S. marine economy.

The U.S. Census Bureau earlier this year released the 2022 Nonemployer Statistics Marine Economy Table providing data on nonemployer businesses (those without paid employees) including self-employed fishers, boat captains, engineers, innkeepers and the like.

The table provides estimates of the number of U.S. nonemployer marine businesses and the receipts they generated in the nation’s 30 states with a coastline, which accounted for $10.7 billion of U.S. nonemployer receipts in 2022.

The Bureau of Economic Analysis estimates that in 2022 the marine economy (including employer and nonemployer establishments) accounted for $476.2 billion or 1.8% of U.S. gross domestic product.
