Labor force projections to 2022: the labor force participation rate continues to fall

This report presents numbers and birth rates tabulated by the race of the mother for 1990.Tables 1-4 contain 1990 data by race of mother for the United States, each geographic division, and State.Table 1 contains the number of live births, birth rates, fertility rates, and total fertility rates.Table 2 contains birth rates for 5-year age groups as well as subgroups 15-17 and 18-19 years, and the total fertility rate.Table 3 contains birth rates by live-birth order.Birth rates for unmarried mothers for 5-year age groups and subgroups 15-17 and 18-19 are shown in table 4.Tables 5-8 contain data for the Hispanic-origin population and by race of mother for the non-Hispanic population comparable to the data in tables 1-4.Table 5 includes each of the 48 States and the District of Columbia that reported information on ethnicity in 1990.Tables 678, which show rates for more detailed demographic subgroups, only include those States with 1,000 or more Hispanic-origin births in 1990.U.S. birth and fertility rates for American Indian and Asian or Pacific Islander women have been published (9,10).These population groups are relatively small and tend to be highly concentrated geographically.Therefore, it is possible to compute meaningful rates for only a few States.Because the focus of this report is the presentation of birth rates by State, rates for these population groups are not presented.
