Today's show is all about numbers. The shrinking number of restaurant workers.The crazy numbers of lumber prices but we're going to start with this one, 331,449,281.That's the number of people living in the United States according to the 2020 Census.The U.S. Constitution in Article I, Section 2 says that an enumeration, a count of America's people should be carried out every 10 yearsand that this is how the number of representatives in the U.S. House is determined.There are 435 voting members in that chamber of Congress.The Constitution says each state gets at least one but most states have significantly more than that.The bigger their population, the more representatives they have in the House.Because Americans commonly move around, it's not unusual for some states to lose House seats while others gain them and there will be changes in store for the years ahead.Here's CNN's Census Acting Director Dr. Ron S. Jarmin.Six states will gain seats in the House of Representatives.Texas will gain two seats and Colorado, Florida, Montana, North Carolina and Oregon will each gain one seat.Seven states will each lose one seat in the House, California, Illinois, Michigan, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia.Political analysts say the changes benefit Republicans more than Democrats.And though Democrats control the House now, the majority they have in order to do that is a slim one.
今天的节目都和数字有关。餐馆员工数量在不断减少。木材价格疯狂上涨，但我们首先要关注的是331,449,281这个数字。这是2020年人口普查显示的居住在美国的人数。美国宪法第1条第2节规定，每10年要对美国人口进行一次统计，这将确定美国众议院代表人数。国会众议院共有435名有投票权的议员。宪法规定，每个州至少有一名议员，但大多数州的议员人数远远超过1个。人口越多，该州在众议院的代表就越多。因为美国人经常搬家，所以有些州失去众议院席位而其他州获得席位是正常情况，未来几年将会发生变化。以下是CNN人口普查代理主任罗恩・S・贾敏博士的报道。六个州将在众议院获得更多席位。得克萨斯州将增加两个席位，科罗拉多州、佛罗里达州、蒙大拿州、北卡罗来纳州和俄勒冈州将各增加一个席位。加利福尼亚州、伊利诺伊州、密歇根州、纽约州、俄亥俄州、宾夕法尼亚州和西弗吉尼亚州州等七州将各失去一个众议院席位。政治分析人士表示，这些变化对共和党人的益处要大于对民主党人的益处。虽然民主党人现在控制着众议院，但他们为实现这一目标所拥有的多数优势微乎其微。
