We explore the nonprofit earnings penalty. To separate the influence of demand and supply, we leverage workers who change employers in administrative tax data. The average nonprofit worker earns 5.5 percent less than the average for-profit worker. Supply-side factors (worker selection) contribute 80 percent of the nonprofit differential. The remaining 20 percent is from demand (a nonprofit penalty). Within-worker nonprofit variation generates several insights about the influence of nonprofits on the labor market. Nonprofits compress the wage distribution and reduce inequality among earners. Nonprofit penalties are much more pronounced in classic charities than in "commercial" nonprofits, which sometimes exhibit nonprofit premia.

同情心是一个好的职业举措吗？：工作变动与非营利组织的收入差异

我们探讨了非营利收入惩罚。为了分离需求和供应的影响，我们利用行政税收数据中更换雇主的工人。非营利性工作者的平均收入比营利性工作者的平均收入低 5.5%。供应方因素（工人选择）贡献了 80% 的非营利差异。剩下的 20% 来自需求（非营利性惩罚）。员工内部非营利组织的变化产生了一些关于非营利组织对劳动力市场影响的见解。非营利组织压缩工资分配并减少收入者之间的不平等。与有时表现出非营利溢价的“商业”非营利组织相比，传统慈善机构对非营利组织的惩罚要明显得多。
