Workforce in the Nonprofit Sector, 2001

Workforce in the Nonprofit Sector, 2001

Nonprofits play an important role in the state’s economy as employers, as well as providers of services and contributors to our quality of life. Statewide, nonprofit employees make up over 9% of the state’s total workforce. In central Minnesota, southern Minnesota and the Twin Cities, nonprofit employment actually grew faster than total employment from 2000 to 2001. A heavy concentration of nonprofit employment, such as in St. Louis and Olmsted counties, is often the result of a large number of jobs in the health care industry or the presence of a large private college or university. Clearly, nonprofit employment constitutes an important component of the workforce throughout the state.
