The GMU-Nonprofit Works Data Explorer allows users to easily search and download the latest available data on nonprofit employment, establishments, and weekly and annual average wages on the national, state, county, and MSA levels by field and compare nonprofits to for-profits and government over the full period.
Data are currently available at the state and county level for the years 1990-2022. National data are available beginning in 2007, and MSA data are available beginning in 2013.
The GMU Nonprofit Works Data Explorer is accessible at https://gmu-nonprofit-works.org/.
