Birth rate in US lowest ever

  The birth rate in the US was the lowest ever in 2011, according to the CDC in Atlanta. There were 3,953,593 babies born in 2011, 1% fewer than in 2010 and 4% fewer than in 2009.

   That number, combined with population data, yielded a crude birth rate of 1.7 per 1000 people, the lowest rate ever reported for the nation.
