Kiplinger Atlas Foresees U S Growth And Job Shifts
The Kiplinger Washington Editors atlas projects U S gross national product rising from 600 billion in 1963 to about 1 trillion in 1975 while inflation nudges living costs. It highlights population growth, tax increases for public services, and regional shifts as states compete for jobs. The study notes 50 million new residents, metropolises expanding from Boston to Norfolk, and growth in industries like autos, power, and chemicals. It also forecasts regional winners and losers, with Florida and the Southeast accelerating while some Plains states lag.
