Earlier this month, Hispanics celebrated the election of Pope Francis, the first Latino to hold the papacy.

Young Americans and those with children like to spice things up in the kitchen, according to new research from Mintel on the ethnic foods market. Some nine in 10 adults aged 25-to-34-years-old say they prepared ethnic food at home in the past month versus only 68% of those 65 plus.

The way mothers and fathers spend their time has changed dramatically in the past half century. Dads are doing more housework and child care; moms more paid work outside the home.

As a result, Hispanics 18 to 34 are delaying forming their own households. Currently, 45% reside with their parents. By Insight Tr3s
Nielsen’s announcement last week that it will begin counting “non-traditional” ways of watching television in the 2013-14 season probably won’t radically upset the apple cart; Brian Furhrer, a senior vice president at Nielsen, told MediaPost’s Joe Mandese it should probably only cause a six-tenths of a ratings point difference.
The telephone survey found that 84 percent of Hispanic adults surveyed expect their family’s financial situation to improve in the next four years. More precisely, six in ten (60 percent) strongly agree and 24 percent somewhat agree. Among respondents employed full time, over eight in ten (85 percent) feel confident about their job security. Respondents also expressed confidence in their ability to retire comfortably. Two-thirds of Hispanic adults surveyed feel confident that they will retire without drawbacks, compared to just half (52 percent) from the general population.
