The U.S. Population Is Growing at the Slowest Rate Since the 1930s – Population Reference Bureau

The pace of U.S. population growth is slowing, according to the Census Bureau’s 2018 estimates and 2020 projections, which provide a preview of 2020 Census results. The U.S. population has increased each decade since the first census was conducted in 1790, surpassing 50 million by 1880, 100 million by 1920, and 200 million by 1970. The 2010 Census was the first head count in which the U.S. population exceeded 300 million. However, the rate of population growth from one decade to the next has declined since 2000 (see Figure 1).

The U.S. population increased by 10 percent between 2000 and 2010 and is projected to increase by 8 percent between 2010 and 2020, from 309 million to 333 million. An 8 percent gain would be the smallest percentage increase in the U.S. population between censuses since the 1930s; the projected numerical increase of 24 million people would be the smallest gain since the 1980s. Yet, between 2010 and 2018, the U.S. population only increased by 6 percent. Unless the rate of population growth increases over the next two years, the United States may not reach the Census Bureau’s projected population size in 2020.

Stagnant wages and rising cost of living.

You almost gotta work a full time and a part time to provide a decent life for your kids (of course this doesn’t apply to the 6-fig coli kings :mjgrin:) and who trying to work 8-12 hours a day then come home to a bunch of kids?
Nah.

So we're living longer, but we're reproducing less. That's not sustainable. Hopefully nurse's aids and caretakers know their worth 30 years from now.
