Hispanic Adult Millennials: Trusting Fewer, Marrying Later, and Still Speaking Spanish [INSIGHT]
Tr3s’s 2012 study, Hispanic Adult Millennials Living the Next Normal: Age of Uncertainty, revealed that for Hispanic Adult Millennials, life is an exercise in risk assessment. They’re cautious with good reason: just as they were entering adulthood, the 2008 economic crisis put a damper on their bright future plans. Jobs became harder to come by – especially dream jobs – and leaving Mom and Dad’s house to live independently turned out to be not that easy. While they still hope to move out of their parents’ houses and get married, those timelines have been pushed back. For now, many are looking inward – sticking close to people they are certain they trust, fulfilling life goals before starting families of their own, and keeping up traditions like speaking Spanish at home.
An in-depth look at Hispanic women’s thoughts towards living a balanced life in a fast paced world.

Several weeks ago, I spoke with Claudia Perlich, Media6Degrees’ chief data scientist, and asked her to define “data scientist.” Her definition spanned four paragraphs, but it boiled down to this: “Data science lives in the intersection of understanding not just the results of the algorithms, but also the subtle caveats of their applicability and the problem that should be solved.”
It’s long been a paradox that, despite the fact that consumers ages 50 and up have the lion’s share of the wealth and income in the U.S, marketers are over-enamored with the 18-49 demographic. The oft-stated justification for aiming at the younger generation is that they are more likely to be open to new products and/or switching brands; and their lives are more centered on consumption and consumerism. 
Digital marketing has driven home the importance of content, as marketers strive to keep customers engaged and drive brand awareness. These were the top two benefits of content marketing, according to an August 2013 survey of marketers in North America from Unisphere Research.

In addition, the total time spent with audio is clearly expanding as people are now enjoying more audio from more devices in more places.
