1: Nonprofit Employment Data

Publish up-to-date nonprofit wage and employment information

Other Information:

The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) regularly collects and releases employment statistics on major industries in the United States. Even though nonprofit groups participate in this data collection, they are not categorized separately; as a result, critical data on nonprofit employment trends are not easily accessible. In response to outreach by the Nonprofit Data Project, the Division of Administrative Statistics and Labor Turnover at BLS, working with Johns Hopkins University, is engaged in a pilot program to test the best and most accurate ways to breakdown Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages information for the nonprofit sector. The goal is to publish up-to-date nonprofit wage and employment information, data that are currently not readily available or accessible to researchers and the public.
