I have found precisely the information that you need in a report
prepared by a group called "Independent Sector," a Washington
organization that represents charities and charitable foundations.

This report reflects figures from 2001, the latest data available from
the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. A more detailed breakdown of
these figures, and some useful charts, may be found elsewhere in the
report, linked below.

(When computing these percentages from the data, I have rounded to the
nearest percentage.)

Total number of US workers: 
131,800,000

For profit organizations: 
98,400,000 workers (75% of the total workforce)

Not for profit organizations: 
12,500,000 workers ( 9% of the total workforce)

Government: 
20,900,000 workers (16% of the total workforce)

Independent Sector: Employment in the Nonprofit Sector

Here you'll find another article based upon the same statistics:

The Chronicle of Philanthropy Managing: From the issue dated June 10, 2004
http://philanthropy.com/free/articles/v16/i17/17003701.htm

This was the Google search string that gave me the best results:

Google Web Search: "united states" employed government "not for
profit" OR nonprofit
://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&q=%22united+states%22+employed+government+%22not+for+profit%22+OR+nonprofit

I hope this is helpful. If anything is unclear, please request
clarification; I'll gladly offer further assistance before you rate my
answer.

Best regards,
