  7. U.S. Data Shows Positive-Impact Sectors Account for Large Share of U.S. Jobs -- and Outsized Job Growth • At least three out of 10 jobs in the U.S. economy focus on building a better world.These positive-impact jobs come from both the public and private sectors. Government jobs are traditionally considered positive impact, as they focus on providing citizens with much-needed education, infrastructure, and social services. U.S. government jobs accounted for 22 million of the 130 million non-farm payroll jobs reported in 2011 and made up just over half of the total jobs that helped to improve society.However, much of the positive impact in today's world is increasingly the result of private industry innovations. In 2011, approximately 21 million of the 110 million jobs in the private industry positively affected society. This private industry contribution primarily came from the sub-sectors of health care, education, and social assistance services, but it also includes positive-impact sectors like utility system construction, environmental waste remediation, and grant-making institutions. (U.S. jobs data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, bls.gov, combines both for-profit business and non-profit social-sector organizations under one category of "private organizations.") • (R. Paul Herman CEO of investment adviser and wealth manager HIP Investor Inc.)
