I thought I just searched fred for "population" or "us population", but that doesn't seem to find it.<br />https://fred.stlouisfed.org/search?st=population<br />(probably it's on there somewhere, but just not on the first page? Need a second search bar to search through the search results...)<br /><br />Looking in my browser history -- I searched google for a misspelled version:<br />https://www.google.com/search?q=fred+us+populatino<br /><br />The top link there (for me, anyway -- maybe some variation if it personalizes peoples' results?) was:<br />https://fred.stlouisfed.org/categories/104<br /><br />Then I scrolled down looking for the earliest start, which was "National Population (POPH)" just a bit down the page.<br /><br />It's the same thing at work, where I can spend an hour looking on our website for documentation and not find it. Or I can use google to search for it, basically mash my hands on the keyboard and misspell it horribly, and it will somehow guess what I mean and find it immediately.<br />Jerrynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2098432983500045934.post-5726444497927450812018-01-16T09:16:49.482-05:002018-01-16T09:16:49.482-05:00Some people will go to any length to get readers!
...Some people will go to any length to get readers!<br /><br />Hey, how did you find POPH ?<br /><br />Pretty good, it goes all the way back to 1900. "Percent Change from Year Ago" shows 2% annual growth with a WWI blip, then a fall from 2% beginning ABOUT FIVE YEARS BEFORE THE GREAT DEPRESSION (so the economy was already no good in the mid-20s), a recovery encouraged by WWII, and a decline in the 1960s.<br /><br />The <b>return</b> to 2% growth is the "baby boom". But it wasn't the baby boom that was different. It was the Depression related (1924 to 1947) slump that was different.
