Profile James A Duncan Federal Bureau of Statistics http://www.answers.com/topic/baby-boom Dear Dairy Today we consolidated the records of the population shifts after the war. I was totally overwhelmed. We found records showing how only 24 million births in the pre-war decade to the 32 million in the post-war decade (“baby”, 1). We also saw how the average population increase changed from 9 million to 20.1 million in those years (Beck, 2). Dear Dairy Were still on the population shifts after the war. We found this chart talking about how people moved around. Apparently African Americans left the south by millions- around one and a quarter- and moved to other parts of the country. It says here that about half a million went to the Midwest, a quarter of a million went to the West coast, 400,000 went to the northeast, and about 25,000 went to the Mountain and plain states region. Overall, it says that over a million people came to California in 3 years and some towns tripled in size (Danzer, et.al. 591). That’s the last of it.
