The latest data shows that the estimated total U.S. population in Q3 2026 reached 342,909 thousand, a slight increase of approximately 87,000 from Q2 2026, maintaining a low-speed growth trend. Under the dual pressure of strict immigration policies and declining birth rates, the market consensus believes that U.S. population growth is approaching historical lows. Without a significant improvement in labor productivity in the future, this could exert pressure on medium- to long-term potential economic growth.
