“About three-in-ten U.S. adults say they are ‘almost constantly’ online,” is the headline for a Pew Research report about online usage released on March 26th. The article includes an eye-opening demographic breakdown for people being online according to age, gender, education, ethnicity, geographic location, and income.
Forty-eight percent of people in the 18 to 29 age cohort are online “almost constantly,” followed by those aged 30 to 49 at 42%. A mere 8% of those 65 or older are constant users.
College grads come in at 42%, while high school or less are at 23%.
These findings are eye-opening and no doubt useful for a variety of business-related pursuits, such as marketing strategies. After all, if you want to reach your target audience, it helps to know what media they use, so that you can maintain a presence there. Purveyors of senior-related products and services probably should not be looking to social media, while marketers of Gen Z goods and services certainly should!
