Note that in the article it says the avg net worth is now around $8000, which means 34% more is only ~$11,000.
That's noticeable, but still not really as a big of a drop as 34% makes it sound.

That doesn't discount the article entirely, but I wish people would stop using misleading statistics for completely valid points. It really ruins your argument.
Still not a huge drop in absolute terms, but the percentage is a lot worse.
