No, it’s been significantly higher than that most years. Eyeballing the numbers, it looks like it’s been lower than that only a handful of times, mostly in the 90’s, and I think between 2000 and 2009 it happened twice.
Historical numbers are here:

Estimates for future years on that page aren’t valid, too many things have changed.
