US adds one new person every 12 seconds

From Tomorrow's Trends

The net impact of births/ deaths and migration means that the US adds one person every 12 seconds.
As our nation prepares to ring in the New Year, the U.S. Census Bureau today projected the Jan. 1, 2005, population of the United States will be 295,160,302 — up 2,835,602 or 1.0 percent from New Year’s Day 2004. In January, the United States is expected to register one birth every eight seconds and one death every 13 seconds. Meanwhile, net international migration is expected to add one person every 26 seconds. The result is an increase in the total population of one person every 12 seconds.
