Question

the u.s. population increased by 7.4 percent between 2010 and 2020, the second slowest rate of growth for any decade since the nations first census in 1790. a student researching economic growth wants to use this excerpt. which research question would best connect to this data? how population trends affect labor markets and national economic output? why some individuals prefer to live in rural rather than urban regions? how population change influences international sports participation? why cities became more crowded after the industrial revolution?

Explanation:

The excerpt is about population growth rate and its relation to economic growth (as the student is researching economic growth). The first option directly connects population trends (the data in the excerpt) with economic aspects (labor markets and national economic output). The second option is about rural - urban preference (not related to economic growth as per the data). The third option is about sports participation (unrelated to economic growth). The fourth option is about post - Industrial Revolution city crowding (not relevant to the 2010 - 2020 data and economic growth context).

Answer:

How population trends affect labor markets and national economic output?
