Those missing workers and consumers would have contributed an additional $86 billion in household spending and supported 741,500 jobs, Implan found.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>While the analysis examines the impact of slowing growth in 2026, the issue could have long-term ramifications on everything from the strength of the Social Security system to job opportunities for younger workers.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Population growth isn&#8217;t just a demographic statistic \u2014 it&#8217;s a driver of economic activity,&#8221; Nad\u00e8ge Ngomsi, an economist at Implan, told CBS News. &#8220;When growth decides to slow sharply, spending slows, job creation slows, and these effects ripple through the local economies.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2>Better for home prices?<\/h2>\n<p>To be sure, a $100 billion dip in growth represents a small fraction of the nation&#8217;s roughly <a href=\"https:\/\/fred.stlouisfed.org\/series\/GDP\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">$31 trillion<\/a> economy. And economic growth in the U.S. is picking up, with GDP in the third quarter of 2025 (the most recent data available) expanding at a\u00a0<span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/gdp-report-economy-growth-third-quarter-2025\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">4.3% annualized rate<\/a><\/span>, faster than the nation&#8217;s typical 2% to 3% pace, according to recent government data.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Even so, slower population growth is likely to ripple through the economy, with the immediate impacts felt in industries that are reliant on new household formation, such as housing, construction and health care, Ngomsi told CBS News.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If growth slows down, then you see fewer households and less demand for housing,&#8221; she said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>That could ease upward pressure on housing prices, she said, potentially making homeownership more attainable for millions of would-be buyers currently priced out of the market. But that may only go so far if mortgage rates remain relatively high, she added.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The role of immigration in driving home prices and labor market conditions has been widely debated, with the Trump administration\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/DHSgov\/status\/1995965410433438085?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">arguing<\/a> that deportations could ease housing costs. But housing experts\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.jchs.harvard.edu\/blog\/role-recent-immigrant-surge-housing-costs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">say<\/a> the post-pandemic surge in home prices has been driven largely by other forces, including years of underbuilding and strong demand from native-born buyers.<\/p>\n<p>The trend of slower population growth means that U.S. businesses and policymakers should focus on boosting worker productivity and increasing labor force participation, Implan&#8217;s report noted.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I do truly believe there is a way
