Stats on the Non-Profit Sector
Posted by Kevin D. Hendricks | Filed under: Research
Check out these stats on the non-profit sector from The Chronicle of Philanthropy:
- 7.2% of all employees in the U.S. work for a non-profit. If you add in volunteers, non-profits account for 10.5% of the American workforce.
- The non-profit world is larger than other major industries including utilities, construction and wholesale trade.
- From 2002-2004 the American workforce as a whole declined .2%, yet the non-profit sector grew by more than 5%.
- Most non-profit work is in the human services field. One-third of non-profit workers are employed at hospitals and another 21% work in other health-related positions, including clinics and nursing homes.
If you want to partner with a non-profit, it helps to know more about their field. Especially the fact that the sector is growing and that more than half of it includes health-related work.
