1% change is "sharply"? What's the measurement error in this percentage, and is it determined directly from a large mass of data, from statistical sampling of a large -> small pile of data or inferred from other information that was not included above?
Similarly, what was the change month-by-month in 2018 or 2019, the effect of COVID (which should be the largest?) and the recovery from 2020?
- phendrenad2 4y agoThis is how journalism works. No matter how small an effect is, you can just call it "massive" or "stunning" or "unexpected" and people will read it and by the time they realize it's bullshit (if they ever do) you've absconded with their ad impression for a cool $0.001 of Google dollars.
