8 years is still a relatively short term thing. To get a real trend you need something that lasts through at least a couple of economic cycles, preferably longer than that. Nobody said it was a generational trend... still it ain't good and a lot of people fear that it is. 2 - That measurement is from a high point in a cycle to a recession.
