Over the past 15 years, nonprofit employment has grown 33
percent, dwarfing the 9 percent job growth enjoyed by the
for-profit private sector over that time. This statistic was
shared in a recent article published in The Washington
Post. Similarly, the Bureau of Labor echoed this industry
trend in their recent report, Spotlight on Statistics,
For-Profit, Nonprofit and Government Sector Jobs. In the
report, the Bureau stated, “Nonprofits have passed local
government to become the second-largest source of employment in
the country, behind the for-profit sector.”
