The link in the OP doesn't say it is "at lowest level in 40 years" as the headline states MichMan Sunday #7

The last few years have been low WSHazel Sunday #8

The headline in your OP stated it was the lowest it has been in 40 years MichMan Sunday #9

Read the data rather than attack WSHazel Sunday #13

This site is fact based MichMan Monday #16

As is my post WSHazel Monday #17
