Or take both in one feed
Map the demand side from the register: roughly 129,000 named security, facilities and cleaning companies with incorporation dates, lifecycle status and registered addresses. A market-entry deck can show what the workforce earns in comparable American metros next to how many British firms already compete for the work - and how fast new ones are forming.
Mind three seams. There is no literal join: the two observe different countries, different taxonomies (SOC against SIC 2007) and different units (survey-weighted workers against registered firms), so reconcile at the level of categories and ratios, never row counts. Declared SIC codes blur register boundaries in a way survey-coded occupations do not, so category totals sit on slightly different definitions. And OEWS is a snapshot by design while the register accumulates events - align vintages before comparing momentum. Datadory ships both normalized to their documented dictionaries - 16 fields and 12 - with sample rows attached for validation, delivered daily, weekly, or hourly - your call. Request a sample of either dataset to watch the rows validate before anyone commits. Or take both in one feed.

Fair questions
Is Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics (OEWS) better than UK Companies House SIC 80-82 company registrations?
Different units, so better depends on the question. For what support labor earns - employment, mean and percentile wages for roughly 830 occupations by metro and industry - OEWS wins. For who the employers are - 44,686 private-security, 20,302 facilities-support and 63,603 cleaning companies with dates and addresses - the register wins. Both score 8 out of 10; sample both, pick by fit.
Do the two datasets cover the same support-services businesses?
They cover the same trade in different countries and units. OEWS surveys American workers in SOC-coded support occupations such as janitors and security guards; Companies House registers every UK-incorporated company declaring SIC 80100, 81100 or 81210. No firm appears in both by name, and neither substitutes for the other's geography.
Which dataset covers more history?
Different clocks. OEWS spans 2009 through the 2026 first quarter as year-and-quarter reference periods, built as snapshots rather than one continuous series. The register reaches deeper through incorporation dates on surviving records, with dissolved companies searchable from 2010 forward, so formation history outruns the wage series even where early register years thin out.
How current is the data in each?
OEWS carries estimates through the 2026 first-quarter reference period. The register's snapshot runs to the end of the previous month and its search view reflects filings as they land. Datadory delivers whichever vintage your sample needs, refreshed daily, weekly, or hourly - your call.
Can I get both records from Datadory?
Yes - sample both and pick by fit, or take both in one feed. Each arrives normalized to its documented dictionary (16 fields for OEWS, 12 for the SIC 80-82 register extract) with sample rows attached so you can test the wage-cell and company-row shapes before committing, alongside the other primary records in the diversified support services slice, delivered daily, weekly, or hourly - your call.
