Published 2012 — the first full employment ledger for Allen County nonprofits
The numbers: The Indiana Nonprofits Project at Indiana University, working from federal Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages data, produced the first careful count of Allen County's nonprofit workforce: nonprofit organizations in the county employed about 14,800 workers in 2009 — roughly one in twelve of all Allen County workers — up fourteen percent from about 13,000 in 1995. Nonprofit payroll in the county rose from $366 million in 1995 to $483 million in 2009, and the number of nonprofit establishments from 279 to 306. The project's framing matters for reading all later counts: its employment figures rest on wage-and-salary records, which capture the sector's hospitals, universities and large service agencies well and its all-volunteer organizations barely at all.
