The New Yorker alarmingly reports that a few of Trump’s claims about the labor force might generously be considered gross exaggerations, but the numbers he cites appear to be wholesale inventions.

This is a fascinating read from Pew Research Center. It reports that a drop-off in immigration and a declining birth rate has curbed overall growth of the Hispanic population and slowed the dispersion of Hispanics through the U.S.

For me I found the following particularly revealing:

Hispanics – once the nation’s fastest-growing population – have now slipped behind Asians, whose population grew at an average annual rate of 3.4% between 2007 and 2014.

I look forward to demographic analysis of the Asian population in the US.

Of course, both the Hispanic and Asian population growth are keen presidential issues.

Thoughts?
