Pretty interesting info here from Yahoo Finance. 

I would guess there are two factors at play here: unemployment is at historic lows so everyone has a job (and most have a 401k) and until very recently there was no alternative to putting money in stocks. 

The latter is changing, the former is being intentionally manipulated by the Fed. 

I also wonder about the ease of investing. When I began there were limited number of platforms that were very clunky and charged fees for each transaction. Now there are apps galore and buying/selling most shares come with little to no fee from the site.
