The US Population Could Shrink in 2025, For the First Time Ever

An anonymous reader shares a report: The United States is on the precipice of a historic, if dubious, achievement. If current trends hold, 2025 could be the first year on record in which the US population actually shrinks. The math is straightforward.

That means any decline... Read more
