An excellent question that should be the first one asked by a reporter. This, and other agenda articles like it, never give that statistic despite it being readily available.
It’s pretty obvious this piece is an exercise in propaganda. As you note, the most relevant data to the story is not only not in the lead paragraph, it is not even mentioned in the article at all.
We have no way to draw any firm conclusions, yet the article all but demands that we draw one. Propaganda - fake news.
