Nonprofits—Third Largest Workforce in U.S.
Nonprofits play a vital role in the social and economic well-being
of the United States. According to an
April 2018 report by Johns Hopkins Center for Civil Society Studies, titled “Nonprofits: America’s Third Largest Workforce", there are 11.9 million nonprofit jobs in
the U.S., making the nonprofit sector the third largest employer in the country.
Only two other industries -retail trade (15.7 million) and manufacturing (12.3
million) account for a larger workforce.
While nonprofit workers
are employed in a wide variety of fields, 54.3%
of nonprofit workers are employed in the health field- encompassing hospitals,
clinics and home health services, followed by education (15.6 percent), social
assistance (12.1 percent), other services (6.7 percent), arts and recreation
(2.5 percent), and professional services (2.2 percent).
Employment is just one factor in determining
the importance of the nonprofit to the U.S. economy. Tracking and charting economic
trends is imperative in assisting the nonprofit sector with increasing challenges
- on both a local and federal level. Their
ability to respond to these challenges has been greatly restricted by a lack of
information and data in their sector and how it relates to other industries.
The John Hopkins Nonprofit Economic Data Project (NED), in collaboration with other local and federal agencies is
collecting and providing vital data related to and for the nonprofit sector.
