Population Problem

For the year ending 7/1/20, the US population grew just 0.35%, the slowest rate since at least 1900! Part of the reason is Covid-19 related, but the entire decade was a demographic bust due to an aging population and limited immigration. At 6.6% the decade ending 2020 will probably exhibit the slowest growth rate since the first census was conducted in 1790, even lower than the 1930s rate of 7.3%.
