the south’s economy must also be increasing dramatically. This leads to the question of the demographics of who is moving there, and what jobs they are taking, or what jobs they are making available. With Atlanta, Georgia being the place that looks like it will be the new capital of the south, and a big time destination for domestic migrants that seems like a good place to start to collect data for this. In 2010 women accounted for half of the population at 50.2%, blacks and African Americans accounted for 54%, so by this data the minorities in most states account for half of the city’s population. While, white people alone accounted for 38.4% of the population, so while a good majority of people in the north are white, in the south the states are not just economically successful, but also ethnically diverse (Censur.gov).
People with a high school graduate or higher at age 25+, account for 88.4% of the population. While, those with bachelor's degree or higher at age 25+ account for 47.1% of the population. This demonstrates, that Atlanta and the rest of the south is also becoming more academically successful, but they still need to focus on getting that 47.1% with a bachelor’s degree or higher up to above 60 percent. This would push the south to be the most academically successful region in the united states, making its’ economic power even that …show more content…
