U.S. population growth is slowing because of declining immigration. What does it mean for the workforce?

The U.S.'s population growth is slowing as immigration has declined amid President Donald Trump's deportation push and stricter border policies.

This was mostly driven by immigration: During that period, the U.S. added 1.3 million immigrants.
