Overall, Maine’s employment is divided into two sectors—commercial, for-profit establishments and noncommercial establishments (government, not-for-profits and religious organizations).[4] This distinction is important because only the commercial, for-profit sector can create new jobs, income and wealth. Noncommercial establishments exist from the fruits of the commercial sector via taxes or charitable contributions. This study examines the state of Maine’s noncommercial establishments.
