Best answer: According to their 2006 IRS 990 form line 90b, there were 803 employees during the pay period containing March 12. 2005.

I get nonprofit tax filings from Guidestar.org.

Are you trying to determing how many people work for National Public Radio, or how many people work in the field of public radio? Your sentence is a bit confusing.

Obviously, many people work for stations, independent shows, American Public Media, Public Radio International, and so forth. Not to mention many, many independent producers.

Yep. many, many, many independent producers. Might produce a few pieces and then get more reliable work, so it's probably an impossible number to be sure of.

I'm trying to figure out the revenue per employee number and compare it to wikimedia.

Response by poster: thanks advicepig, you led me to the fy2007 form990 which states they have 823 employees. If anyone is interested,

Revenue Generated Per Employee for NPR is 159 million/823=$193,195
Revenue Generated Per Employee for wikimedia is 2.734909 million/23=$118,909

Revenue Generated Per Employee for NYTimes Company 3.04billion/10231=$3,122,937

There's an article in the Washington Post today about layoffs at NPR. It states that there are 889 employees.
