I know you all have heard the saying “babies making babies”. Well according the United States Population clock, the saying is not too far off. According to the statistics that accompany this clock, there is one birth in America every eight seconds. I currently work at the United States Census Bureau in Suitland Maryland, which contains a live population counter. When I am at work the numbers change on this counter every few seconds, so I can vouch for this statistic. There are several population clocks, for separate nations and the world, on the internet for web surfers to visit. Here is the link to the one discussed in this article. http://www.census.gov/population/www/popclockus.html
