300 million people roaming these great states

John Donnelly at the Boston Globe wrote in today's paper about the nation's population growth, specifically about how it will reach 300 million in the coming days and how it could continue to surge.

The story is accompanied by fun graphics about the United States' population growth between 1990 and 2000 as well as percentages changes by state, the percentrage of immigrants in the country and the projected amount of people separated by race between now and 2043. My favorite facts in these graphics are that Nevada and Arizona are the highest growing states in the nation and that the hispanic and asian populations will rise by 113.9 percent and 131.8 percent, respectively, in the next 37 years.

Have a look for yourself and see how much this country is going to grow.
