Emerging from the 1980's census is the picture of a nation developing more and more regional competition. This development and its strong implications for US politics and economy in years ahead has enthroned the South as America's most densely populated region for the first time in the history of the nation's head counting.
Altogether, the U.S. population rose in the 1970s by 23.2 million people- numerically the third largest growth ever recorded in a single decade. Even so, that gain adds up to only 11.4 percent, lowest in American annual records except for the Depression years. Americans have been migrating south and west in large numbers since World Warâ…¡and the pattern still prevails. Three sun-belt states: Florida, Texas and California, together had nearly 10 million more people in 1980 than a decade earlier. Among large cities, San Diego moved from 14th to 8th and Washington DC dropping out of the top 10. A report from Tom Mesenbourg, deputy director of the U.S. Census Bureau says:" The understanding we gain from these statistics about what impact franchise businesses have on the U.S. economy is a good example of how government and business can partner to provide relevant, quality data to the business community"
Not all that shift can be attributed to the movement out of the snow-belt, census officials say. Non-stop waves of immigrants played a role too, and so did bigger crops of babies as yesterday's "Baby Boom" generation reached its child-bearing years. There is a fact that many illegal immigrants have no living certificate. Even though, American Census Bureau reported the situations to other government organizations, including American Immigration Bureau, American Army and so on. They said they will settle this problem together.
Moreover, the demographers find that more and more Americas apparently are looking not just for places with more jobs but with fewer people too. This may bring some benefits to America's economy in a whole.
