This will blow your mind
New York City Council member Vickie Paladino explains how much non profit work goes towards political infrastructure
- New York City pumps over $16 billion annually through nonprofits
- 18% of all private sector jobs in New York City are 2 nonprofits
- 34% of foreign born are nonprofit workers
- 1/3 of the Bronx is nonprofits
- 21% of Brooklyn nonprofits
- 56% people of color, nonprofits
- 57% of nonprofit workers are under the age of 40
“My mouth is on the floor”
“These are the exact demographics that vote voted Democrat between 75- 85%.
“It's all political infrastructure. Every bit of it”
“It's all funneling money. It's funneling money to the Democratic party. Where do you think the Democrats get their money from? The Democrats get their money from the nonprofits”
The stats are from official NYC Comptroller data (2017 BLS/ACS, with similar shares in 2024-25 reports): nonprofits employ ~18% of private-sector workers citywide (34% in Bronx, 21% in Brooklyn), 56% POC, 34% foreign-born. City pays them $16B+/yr for human services. Age skew (younger workforce) matches trends around 47-57% under 40 in breakdowns. Paladino's take is it's taxpayer-funded infrastructure tilting Dem via jobs/demographics. Not "wrong"—just one view on how gov funding sustains sectors.
