Are the Employment Dynamics Different in the Nonprofit Sector?

The Nonprofit Sector has an OLDER workforce than the overall regional labor market: 70% of the sector’s workers are over 35 while in the overall market only 67% of workers are over 35. The biggest gap is in the 55-64 cohort: the NS share is 3% higher than average.

Younger workers in the Nonprofit Sector are less stable than their counterparts in other industries.The 25-34 cohort, on the other hand, churns less often in the Nonprofit Sector than in other industries.

Are the Employment Dynamics Different in the Nonprofit Sector?

The Nonprofit Sector was less affected by the economic downturn and managed (in the overall context) not to lose jobs for any of the younger age cohorts. The job loss in the two oldest cohorts was less severe than in other sectors.

• Aging is REAL

• Turnover COSTS money and DECREASES productivity

• The issue of skill mismatch and lack of soft skills is very relevant to

the Nonprofit Sector
