Non Profit Jobs in Houston Grow During Recession
Good news for anyone with or looking for non profit jobs in Houston.
A recent study from the Center for Civil Society Studies at the Johns Hopkins Institute for Policy Studies found that nonprofit employers throughout the nation are actually adding jobs and doing their part to improve the depressed economy. Check out this social service worker job description.
After analyzing data from 21 states, the study found that nonprofit employment grew by an average of 2.5 percent each year between 2007 and 2009. In comparison, for-profit employment decreased by 3.3 percent during the same period of time.

Another plus - nonprofit employment actually grew more during the economic recession than it did in previous years. An increase of only 2.3 percent was seen on average each year between 2001 and 2007, and even that was higher than the .2 percent growth seen in the for-profit industry during that time.
"That nonprofit organizations have been able to increase employment in the face of the most severe recession since the Great Depression is a testament to the effectiveness of the federal stimulus program, which channeled assistance to many nonprofit organizations, and to the resilience and determination of nonprofit leaders and those who support them in the public and private sectors," Lester M. Salamon, director of the Center for Civil Society Studies and author of the study, told The JHU Gazette.
"But this accomplishment, impressive though it is, still leaves many needs unmet and many organizations and regions under severe strain," he continued.
Some nonprofit industries did see lower-than-average employment growth between 2007 and 2009. For instance, employment in nursing homes increased by 1.8 percent, while employment in social assistance grew by 1.4 percent.
When it comes to individual states, some saw much lower growth than average as well. Increases of .7 percent in New Jersey, 1.3 percent in both Michigan and Indiana, 1.4 percent in Ohio, and 1.5 percent in Illinois were below the national average.
