Good help is hard to find, the old saying goes. It's even more difficult when the job is the worker's only reward.

Fewer people are volunteering for nonprofit organizations than at any time since the government began keeping track in 2002, according to a new report from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

The bureau said 61.2 million people served charities in 2006, a drop of nearly 6.5 percent from the previous year."
