66.7 per cent of operators in Ulster County, NY employ fewer than five people, against a median of 67.1 per cent across the 348 published county markets.
Most operators employ fewer than five people, so buying decisions are made by an owner rather than a committee, and setup time matters more than configurability.
Ulster County, NY has 6.56 taxi and limousine businesses per 100,000 residents, against a national median of 2.16.
Operators per head are far above the national midpoint, which is typical of counties serving an airport, a downtown core or a large visitor economy rather than only their own residents.
Within New York the median is 5.96 per 100,000, so this county is denser than its state norm.
Annual payroll works out at about $21,764 per employee across the sector in Ulster County, NY.
A figure that low usually reflects heavy part-time and split-shift working rather than low hourly rates, which makes accurate shift and per-driver accounting the difference between knowing your margin and guessing it.
