It is very hard to generalize. Some things do have a historical trend. Population statistics frequently show a positive trend, hence the calculated percentages are typically positive. The downturn in the world economy recentlyproduced a lot of calculated negative percentages. You may find thousands of negative percentages if you follow the Stock Market. There is a tendency for convenience and clarity, to state percentages as "20% lower" or "20% off" instead of saying the "price today = stated price - 20% of the stated price."
