The US population was
326,625,791 est. 7/17
Age 0 – 14 was 61.2 million or
18%
Age 15-24 was 43.4 million or
13%
Age 25-54 was 128.9 million or
40%
Age 55-64 was 42.2 million or
13%
Age 65 and over was 51.1
million or 16%
Population growth was 0.81%.
Birthrate was 12.5 births/1000 population. Death rate was 8.2 deaths/ 1000
population. Migrant population was 4%. Urbanization rate was 82% living in
cities.
22.6% under age 18
shows 74 million or an average of 4.1 million per year that will be in each
graduating class. We will need to maintain minimum wage jobs for at least 4
classes or 15.4 million part-time and summer jobs.
If you divide the Age
25-54 group in half, you get 20% to anticipate Social Security costs. I
couldn’t find any population data that simply lists the number of US citizens
separately by age. But if you total the
128.9 million in the 25-54 group and the 42.2 million in the 55-64 group you
get 171.1 million and that should be close to the working age population
between 16 and 65 we use to calculate the Labor Participation Rate.
15.6% over age 65
shows the 51.1 million seniors reported on other lists. Many over age 65 are still in the workforce.
The number of
full-time job-holders in 2017 was 126 million.
Manufacturing jobs in
the US in 1970 totaled 18.4 million. In 1980 US manufacturing jobs totaled 19.5
million. By 1998, manufacturing jobs totaled 17.6 million. By 2009
manufacturing jobs totaled 11.5 million. The US needs to restore 8 million
manufacturing jobs.
