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.”
