Have they got a graph that goes further back? That one looks like it starts at the bottom of a dip making the line of best fit look more extreme.

Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

The way it works is this (I've left out the complicated maths):
Step 1: You have a prior belief, doesn't matter how ridiculous it is.
Step 2: You get some evidence and it changes your prior belief (the maths is here based on probability densities).
Step 3: You have an amended belief based on the data altering your prior (your posterior)
repeat, your posterior becoming your new prior.
Some think this is a good epistemological approach since it chimes with general empirical approaches and the Kuhnian revolutionary paradigm.
You haven't moved beyond Step 1 and hence your conclusions are ridiculous.
HTH.
ps. As an aside you were wondering why your rate has been declining in real terms for a decade.
My prior was that you were thick. The evidence keeps coming that my initial impression was right.
So my posterior belief is that you are even thicker than I thought. As well as having a large posterior.Hard Brexit now!
