Nonprofit job growth probably due to health care
Jamie Smith Hopkins has a short piece on the continued growth of jobs in the nonprofit sector even as the recession plastered employment at for-profit companies. The research was done by the Johns Hopkins Center for Civil Society Studies. I can't get the study to load on the Center's site, but I'm betting that nonprofit job growth was fueled largely by hospitals and other aspects of health care. Health-care employment has been fueled by the aging population and lack of controls on Medicare spending.

In the last 10 years there seems to have been a large increase in non-profits. You even find them in the real estate business as well.
Some are legit.But more than a few are sketchy.There are a lot of "non-profits" that pay thier top staff huge amounts of money.
Not all non-profits are like the Salvation Army
