Transparency: Where We Volunteer

An interesting article featured on http://www.good.is/ on where individuals volunteered during 2009.

"In these still-tough economic times, it can be hard to find ways to give back. But new data just released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics show that people across the country are still taking the time to volunteer in their communities. This is a look at some of that data, showing who volunteered in 2009 and what kind of work they're doing. A tip of the hat to everyone who finds the time to do some good."
