|||
As our nation prepares to ring in the New Year, the U.S. Census
Bureau today projected the Jan. 1, 2005, population of the United States
will be 295,160,302 — up 2,835,602 or 1.0 percent from New Year’s
Day 2004. Meanwhile, net international migration is expected
to add one person every 26 seconds. The result is an increase in the total
population of one person every 12 seconds. - X -
