The quality of jobs in nonprofit organizations in Canada was examined through a review of data from Canada's Workplace and Employer Survey, which collected data from a nationally representative sample of Canadian workplaces and paid employees in those workplaces. Key findings of the analysis were as follows: (1) overall, compared to the for-profit sector and nonprofit organizations in "quasi-public" industries (termed the "quango sector"), the nonprofit sector employs larger proportions of workers on a temporary or part-time basis; (2) average hourly earnings of managers, professionals, and technical/trades workers in the nonprofit sector lag behind those of their counterparts in the for-profit and quango sectors; (3) only a minority of non-profit employers offer benefits such as medical insurance; (4) approximately two-thirds of employees of non-profits reported that they were satisfied with both their job and overall pay and benefits, which was similar to the percentage in the quango sector and slightly lower than that in the for-profit sector; (5) only 63% of nonprofit sector employees over age 45 were satisfied with both their pay and benefits compared with 75% of employers over age 45 in the for-profit sector; and (6) many paid employees in the nonprofit sector were women with postsecondary credentials.
