The US Census released population figures yesterday. Director Robert Groves
There are over 308 million people in America and although there has been steady growth, it's still the slowest rate of growth since the Great Depression. In the Midwest, the population growth rate was at 3.9 percent. Iowa has just over 3 million people, and since the population didn't grow as fast as the rest of the nation here, the state will lose a seat in the House of Representatives. Instead of 5 seats in the 2012 election, Iowa will have 4.
