Volunteerism is at lowest level since 2002 - Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

Volunteerism is at lowest level since 2002 - Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: Just over a quarter of adults in the U.S., 26.2 million people, volunteered for an organization in 2013, a percentage that has fallen for the last two years and reflects the lowest level of volunteerism since the government started keeping track in 2002.

The data were released Tuesday by the Bureau of Labor Statistics and collected at the behest of the Corporation for National and Community Service, a federal agency. The information reflects volunteerism between September 2012 and September 2013.
