Half of Nonprofits Plan to Add Jobs This Year, Study Finds

Employment growth is expected to remain strong at nonprofits, with 50 percent planning to add jobs this year, according to a survey released Wednesday. That figure tops recent estimates for job growth in the business world ­— and indicates that turnover will intensify at charities.

This year’s hiring plans would essentially mirror what happened last year, when 49 percent of nonprofits increased the size of their staffs, according to a survey of 362 nonprofits in the U.S. and Canada conducted by Nonprofit HR, a consulting firm in Washington.
