The team used data from the National Survey of Children’s Health to color-code states based on the number of children who have been bullied and engaged in bullying behavior.

Explore the 100 Most Popular Uses of AI

The team at Qualtrics compiled a list of the 100 most popular uses of AI with data on how these categories changed in popularity from 2024 to 2025. Among this huge list, we can see some patterns emerge. The most popular use for AI in 2025 is for personal and professional support. Use in this category nearly doubled from 2024 to 2025. People use AI to organize their lives, manage their time and create schedules, prepare for job interviews, plan their workouts, and even manage parenting and emotional situations. Now, some use it to simulate a conversation with deceased loved ones or as a coach to improve confidence. Overall, we can see that AI used as a therapist or counselor is the most popular use case in 2025. This is somewhat surprising and perhaps concerning since generative AI doesn’t actually think or empathize as a human. It’s a predictive text model with responses based on probability. Even so, it seems many users find it helpful to reflect and sort through their thoughts and feelings with the help of AI.

Find Out What Different Generations Spend the Most On

We can learn what different age groups value and need based on their spending habits. The team at Qualtrics did an extensive study among Boomers, Gen X, Millennials, and Gen Z, breaking down what categories they like to splurge on. We can learn a lot about the culture of different age groups through this data. For example, Millennials in their late twenties to early 40s are balancing careers, families, and aging parents. This balancing act is reflected in their top splurge categories. They splurge the most on restaurants and dining out, which is not just enjoyable but sometimes a time-saving choice. Same with their third most popular category, which is groceries. Millennials were the first to widely adopt grocery apps like Uber Eats and Postmates, another time-saving luxury. Finally, Millennials like to splurge on clothing and apparel, possibly due to a need for workwear or because they’re interested in fashion.

Study Links Power Outage Data to State of Infrastructure

Ooma’s five-year power outage analysis shows that power outage length and frequency depend on each state’s power grid stability and emergency response capabilities. Delaware is the peak of power grid efficiency, with the shortest average outage duration of 101 minutes. Despite Delaware’s exposure to coastal storms and hurricanes, its strong grid is due to the state’s small size, responsive crews, and well-maintained grid system. Massachusetts is right behind Delaware with an average outage time of 102 minutes.

New Study Examines Link Between Tax Policy and Retirement Expenses

A new study from Ooma shows that state tax policies can create substantial differences in retirement costs. The team examined SmartAsset’s tax friendliness rankings to determine which states are the most and least expensive to retire in. Seven states achieved the “very tax-friendly” score: Alaska, Florida, Nevada, Wyoming, South Dakota, Georgia, and Mississippi. These states don’t tax retirement income, Social Security benefits, and in some cases, property, which creates strong advantages for fixed-income retirees. On the other end of the spectrum, seven states were deemed “not tax-friendly”: California, Vermont, Maine, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Minnesota, and Nebraska. All of these states tax income and property for retirees. We can see why many retirees opt for Florida. It’s not just the warm weather. The state has zero income tax, creating value for retirement that offsets living costs. Data like this is crucial for retirement planning and can affect where and when people retire.

Impact of Remote Work on Company Culture

Remote work has created a fundamental shift in business culture, and the Ooma team created a graphic demonstrating that a company’s age can indicate how likely a business is to adapt to remote work. Their analysis revealed that 35% of workers had remote jobs in 2023 compared to 23% in 2019. It’s obvious that the COVID-19 pandemic caused this shift. Looking at the team’s numbers, newer companies seem more likely to embrace remote work. Almost 44% of businesses under two years old support work-from-home options, suggesting they could design their work models on remote possibilities.

New Graphic Shows Female Billionaires Who Break Barriers

For decades, the billionaire club was dominated by male entrepreneurs. But American women are on the rise, with self-made billionaire females rewriting the rules and proving that business success isn’t a man’s game. From entrepreneurs to entertainers and business tycoons, a new Ooma graphic shows that no single playbook leads to billionaire status. The time these women took to achieve their wealth also defies the stereotype that women’s prospects dwindle with age. While Lucy Guo became the youngest self-made female billionaire at age 30, she’s bookended by Alice Schwartz’s slow but steady accumulation, leading to billionaire status at age 98.

New Study Examines the Most Common Birthdays and the Social Implications

The team at Kremp Florist shows that birthday distribution patterns can reflect deep cultural and social dynamics that shape family planning decisions. There seems to be an overwhelming preference for August births. It’s the most common birth month in 45 states. With such a big concentration of August birthdays, we can assume that Americans purposefully aim for this month to arrange around social calendars, vacation schedules, and other cultural celebrations. America’s single most popular birth date comes close to August. It’s September 9th, a birthday shared by celebrities like Adam Sandler, Colonel Sanders, and Hugh Grant.
