One-call TAM / market-size read for an industry (NAICS) in a US geography. Joins two independent federal sources that both count business activity by NAICS + area so each corroborates the other: US Census County Business Patterns (establishments, employment, annual payroll - needs a Census API key) and BLS QCEW (keyless: private establishment count, total wages, average annual pay, with employment implied from wages / avg pay). Returns the establishment count, employment, and a wage/payroll-based market-size anchor with the per-source evidence. Pass an 'industry' (e.g. 'restaurants', 'software publishers') or an explicit 'naics' code, and an optional 'state' or 'metro' (defaults to national). Market size here is the total annual wages/payroll paid in the industry+area - a concrete lower bound, NOT total revenue/receipts. A source that fails is noted, not fatal. Informational, not a guarantee.
