The employment growth rate in Maryland's nonprofit sector is continuing to outpace the for-profit sector's, a Johns Hopkins University study concludes.
Maryland nonprofit organizations added more than 4,500 jobs during 2004, the latest year for which data are available.
Growth was particularly robust in the Baltimore suburbs where nonprofit employment grew 4.8 percent.
"This report demonstrates that Maryland's nonprofit sector continues to play a more significant role in the economy of the state than is the case in most states," said Peter V. Berns, executive director of the Maryland Association of Nonprofit Organizations.
"Nonprofits account for 11 percent of private sector employment in Maryland, well above the national average of 8.2 percent."
- While the nonprofit job growth rate in Baltimore City was lower than the state average, it still outpaced employment in the city's for-profit sector, which declined by nearly 4 percent.
This represents more than 9 percent of all jobs in the state, and 11 percent of all private jobs.
