Private Security Guard Industry Statistics
With 64 percent of private security firms struggling to find qualified candidates, the guard workforce story is less about availability and more about cost drivers, compliance, and training gaps, including $47.9 billion in U.S. private security revenue in 2024. You will also see how 58 percent of organizations rely on mobile guard reporting and why a 15 point training compliance jump in evaluation work can matter when incident management, OSHA safety expectations, and armed guard requirements collide.
Locksmith Industry Statistics
US locksmith employment reached 19,500 workers and average pay hit $24.75 an hour in May 2023, yet 65% are self employed and the industry still turns over at an 18% annual rate. If you are trying to understand where work is really coming from, the page contrasts residential lockouts and smart lock growth with workforce aging and certification gaps, alongside a global workforce of 450,000 and a services market projected to reach $2.45 billion in 2022 with 6.2% CAGR through 2030.
