Population Problem
01/13/2022 |
For the year ending 6/30/21, the US population grew by a trivial 404,912, 0.12%, the lowest growth rate since recordkeeping began in 1900. For the decade ending 6/30/21, growth was 7.4%, the second lowest in US history, edging out the 7.3% rate during the Depression decade of the 1930s. Last year, for the first time ever, immigration of 256,869 exceeded births minus deaths of just 148,043. 2022 looks no better.
