California has the largest Latino population in the United States. According to a new study, that population seems to be prospering.

There are now more than two-million people living in Nebraska. The Census Bureau says Nebraska added just more than 17-thousand-600 people as of July, bringing Nebraska's estimated population to more than two-million-five thousand. It's the biggest increase for the state in almost 30 years. The Census says about 75-percent of Nebraska 's growth is attributed to international immigration, also the main contributor to national population growth.
