The decline was only 1.2%, 4.8% is after a 4x "annualizing" multiplier.

...The decline was 0.1 of a year.

Nice graph. Yeah, it looks like it is a decline but far less than 50%.

strken | karma 7366 | avg karma 3.99 · | 2022-07-04 19:11:07

Looks like it only declined from 7.5% or thereabouts. Is there a more specific figure in the full paper?

cpncrunch | karma 7015 | avg karma 2.45 · | 2015-01-08 21:56:23+00:00

It has come down by about 50% in the last year.

FabHK | karma 14253 | avg karma 2.82 · | 2020-07-30 13:22:44+00:00

US drop was also in that range, around 9.5%. (The crucial "annual rate" is missing in the headline.)

sumedh | karma 3033 | avg karma 1.1 · | 2014-12-28 19:24:06

The growth rate is falling though.

prionassembly | karma 1127 | avg karma 2.22 · | 2021-01-05 15:29:08+00:00

That doesn't look like a very steep decline.

tedd4u | karma 1123 | avg karma 3.82 · | 2016-05-12 17:33:37+00:00

And the chart shows that despite falling since 2008, 2015 levels were nearly 50% down from 2014. So the decrease is accelerating.

Interestingly, that decline of 27% happened in...two weeks. The 65K peak was around April 13th.

sixQuarks | karma 3552 | avg karma 2.03 · | 2023-04-30 14:31:38

That’s compared to the year ago period. If you compare to last quarter it’s down 20%

redorb | karma 1665 | avg karma 1.75 · | 2009-01-02 23:54:30+00:00

only started keeping stats 4 years ago, I would think since then any decline would be windows lowest; not to mentin the decline is less than 1 percent

jklein11 | karma 904 | avg karma 1.24 · | 2020-05-16 19:26:34

What evidence of another 30%+ decline do you have? I'm not questioning that there is evidence, just genuinely interested in learning more.

reledi | karma 1432 | avg karma 2.31 · | 2014-11-04 06:02:39

An 8% decrease from one year to the next isn't very newsworthy IMO. This trend may not continue next year for all we know.

NotYourLawyer | karma 2967 | avg karma 2.68 · | 2022-11-08 15:45:07

Yes, it did. It’s down 95% from its peak.

treis | karma 8962 | avg karma 2.72 · | 2023-10-22 21:42:20

No, this is a (relatively) small decline after a massive increase:

2018 - 17k

2022 - 21k

Down 0.44% after 100% increase over the last two years

lippel82 | karma 180 | avg karma 3.53 · | 2020-07-30 19:44:53

No, wait, compared quarter to quarter it really did decrease by 32.9%. The 9.5% is what would be missing if suddenly everything went back to normal. Which it won't.

monocasa | karma 27236 | avg karma 2.94 · | 2023-10-24 07:55:15

It's dropped significantly since then.

jshen | karma 5007 | avg karma 2.17 · | 2014-10-22 22:37:11

so it's a steady decline?
