The portable sanitation market represents about 30% of the total, so the size of this subset is estimated at between $1.38 billion and $2.01 billion. US Census collects and analyzes more complete business data every five years. The most recent complete data are from 2012, which the government released in mid- 2016. Some additional data points from 2016—which were released in mid-2018— are also included. Available information depicts an industry that struggled through the recession beginning in late 2007. By 2012 signs of recovery were evident, and the industry has continued to grow through 2016. Note that even as times got better, total employment in the sector decreased by more than 7% through 2012. Operational efficiency appears to be the explanation for this trend. Since 2012, both the number of people employed in the industry and the amount they are paid has gone up considerably. Some of this is due to the growth of the industry overall and some to the increasing competition for workers, especially truck drivers and marketing/sales professionals.
