NY State Leads U.S. in Nonprofit Jobs
Led by the healthcare sector, New York State surpassed the nation in nonprofit employment with more than 1.4 million jobs and total wages of just over $78 billion in 2017, State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli says in a new report. Nonprofits represented 17.8% of the state’s public-sector employment for the year, compared to 10.2% nationally.
In the five years that ended Dec. 31, 2017, nonprofit jobs grew faster than the rest of the private sector in most New York regions. Wages at nonprofits also grew faster statewide than the rest of the private sector and the public sector between 2007 and 2017.
“Nonprofits play an important role in every region of New York, delivering vital services to New Yorkers, from hospital care and education to legal services and environmental protection,” DiNapoli said. “They also have a measurable impact on our economy, providing one in every six private sector jobs statewide.”
