Don’t Panic: Population Projection is Not a Crystal Ball
The best way to get those dozens of rates for each year is to rely on current rates and recent trends. This works well when things are changing slowly and in predictable ways, but it means our projections are often limited to forecasting a future that’s a lot like the present.

Holding multiple full-time jobs may sound impossible, but these overemployed remote workers are managing to squeeze in two to three jobs within a regular workweek—no overtime needed.
