Employment in Maryland's nonprofit sector grew 1.6 percent between 2009 and 2010, while the state's businesses experienced a 1.1 percent job loss during the same period, according to a new Johns Hopkins report. This pattern of nonprofit job growth held true for all regions of the state, although recent growth was slightly lower than the 2.0 percent growth recorded from 2008 to 2009.
