What's new? There's a big difference between "I hate my job and would like the freedom and acclaim I imagine writers enjoy" and "I have written a novel that isn't just masturbation and will now try to sell it."

Those statistics are spurious. They’ve floated around the internet for years, and seem to lack attribution. They appear to have been cut out of whole cloth in 2003.
There are more trustworthy and recent statistics here:

“In the most recent survey, those most likely to be book readers included women; young adults (those ages 18-29); those with higher levels of education and higher household income; and whites. These patterns largely hold for overall book reading and for the different reading platforms – printed books and e-books.
The average woman read 14 books in the past 12 months, compared with the nine books read by the average man, a statistically significant difference.”
…This is still dismal, and “author” is an utterly terrible career choice, but things are not nearly so bad as Mangan’s post suggests.

Even if they're true they're irrelevant because no one here's writing for money anyway. I actually think I might die after finishing the first draft of this next thing I'm writing, but if at least a friend of mine or two get to read it that's fine by me.
