Begin forwarded message: From: "Jim O'Donnell" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: July 11, 2006 8:32:57 AM EDT To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: only IP would know Dave, even Google isn't getting me this one. I'll bet a quarter somebody on IP can provide guidance. Question: how large is the religion industry in the United States? (1) How many employees? (2) How much revenue? Not just churches and tax-exempt organizations, if possible, but also the wide range of commercial organizations that serve that sector, including publishers, candle manufacturers, and the like. I'm not sure whether I would like to include cemeteries, mortuaries, and the like, but I'd certainly like to include religious-run medical facilities, nursing homes, etc., and of course religious-associated educational institutions. This has to be a question somebody has answered, but the focus of our public reporting of data is so heavily on the private sector that it's at least elusive.
