The Census Bureau has new estimates of state populations today: New York grew ever so slightly this year, by roughly .3 percent. That’s an estimated 60,981 people added to the population between 2007 and 2008, Journal News data analyst Cathey O’Donnell says.
The new figures show that New York, which ranks third in total population behind California and Texas, had an estimated 19,490,297 people in 2008. Since Census 2000, the state has grown by 513,840 people, or 3 percent, over the last eight years. New Jersey and Connecticut also grew 3 percent.
The country as a whole is growing faster, adding about 22.6 million people, or 8 percent, in the last eight years. In 2008, the U.S. population is estimated at 304,059,724, up 2.7 million from the previous year.
Only two states lost population from 2007 to 2008: Rhode Island and Michigan.

Any gains in the population of New York is due to more illegial aliens and their families moveing into the state. The illegial’s are picking at the bones of a dead economy.
