Scott Jensen, a newly hired business pro- fessor focused on management and integra- tion of data within enterprises, said big data is the information generated while users search for content online and click on links, which businesses use to market similar prod- ucts or content to consumers through adver- tising. “What they’re doing now is they’re col- lecting a lot of data on a consumer’s click- stream, (or) what you’re looking at,” Jensen said. “(Businesses) are looking to see, ‘Can I learn more about my customers from this data?’” Data collection isn’t a new phenomenon, according to Jensen, but its form and pack- aging have changed over the years. “There’s a lot of industries that have been working with large amounts of data for a long time,” Jensen said. “In the past, a lot of the stuff that’s been coming at you in high volume has been structured ... (now) they’re looking at this high volume of unstructured data.” A lot of that unstructured data is referred to as “data exhaust,” Jensen said, because it’s generated as a by-product of other processes, like making an online purchase. As businesses begin to focus on “data- driven decision making,” there’s a lot more analysis that goes into the process, Jensen said. In a 2011 report, the McKinsey Global In- stitute estimated that by 2018 there will be a shortage of 140,000 to 190,000 data scien- tists in the U.S. and a shortage of 1.5 million business managers and analysts who know how to use that data to make informed deci- sions. “That’s why, from an educational stand- point, it’s important for business students to understand how they can use that data to make better business decisions,” Jensen said. “I don’t think there’s a convergence of ma- jors in the sense that they’ll all be the same, but it’s another skill that they need to have.” Swathi Pai, a computer science gradu- ate student, is enrolled in a new under- Carolyn Seng | Spartan Daily Construction workers shape concrete steps that will lead to one of the entrances to the new Student Union.

WASHINGTON — The nation’s elevated poverty rate and stagnating median house- hold income showed no meaningful chang- es in 2012, according to a new government report released Tuesday, while the number and percentage of people without health insurance declined slightly from 2011, due mainly to increased enrollment in the Medicare program. The annual U.S. Census Bureau report shows the economic and social well-being of U.S. residents continued to stabilize in 2012 after several years of tumultuous decline following the Great Recession, which began at the end of 2007 and lasted until midway through 2009. But U.S. families still have a ways to go to recapture even the faltering economic strength of the weakened pre-re- cession labor market. Median household income — the amount at which half the country earns less and the other half earns more — was $51,017 in 2012. That’s not statistically different from the 2011 median of $51,100, but it does halt two consecutive annual declines. For working-age households headed by a person younger than 65, the median in- come increased by 1 percent, from $56,802 or below the federal poverty line of $11,170 by an increase of nearly 2 million people aid as part of the Affordable Care Act.
