Monthly Labor Review article on nonprofits

“Occupational employment in the not-for-profit sector,” by Zack Warren www.bls.gov/opub/mlr/2008/11/art2full.pdf

Analysis combined 2006 OES survey data with tax-exempt-status information from the Internal Revenue Service’s Business Master File of the Statistics of Income program

profit, and government establishments, 2006

Not-for-profits had higher shares of teachers and lower shares of sales

workers

Differences in occupational mix reflected differences in industry composition: highest nonprofit employment was in educational services and healthcare and social assistance

Not-for-profits had higher shares of teachers, community and social service, healthcare, and personal care and service workers

Not-for-profits had lower shares of sales, food service, construction and extraction, maintenance, production, and transportation workers

For-profit establishments had higher average wages than not-for-profits in 12 of the 22 occupational groups, including most higher-paying groups

Education-related occupations, architecture and engineering, healthcare support, food service, and building service occupations had higher wages in not-for-profit establishments

22

General medical and surgical hospitals: for-profits and not-for-profits had similar staffing patterns and occupational wages

Depository credit intermediation: not-for-profits had lower shares of management, business and financial, sales, and computer and mathematical occupations; higher shares of office support occupations; and generally lower wages

Social advocacy organizations: not-for-profits had lower shares of community and social service and business and financial occupations, and higher shares of office support and education, training, and library occupations. For-profits and not-for-profits had similar overall wages, but large wage differences for individual occupations.
