I see a few options with this of anecdote.
1. just ignore it, on the basis that the statistical data collected by many private organizations and the federal government say that it is incorrect.
2. as much as I hate quoting Bezos, he does have a good line about how, if anecdotes and data don't align, there's probably something wrong with the way the data is being measured and/or collected.
3. Accept that the data is correct, and that this sort of anecdotal reporting is also correct, but represents conditions that were also the case for previous generations yet somehow never became part of the zeitgeist.
I don't know which to choose. Maybe there are others.
