Author is surprised their growth-oriented 80/20 portfolio yielded 3.4% in dividends and asks if that is normal.

As the title says I'm mostly focused on growth (80/20 portfolio) with equities represented by index funds (SP500, Small Cap, DJIA, International). Just out of curiosity I downloaded all dividend/interest paid during the year and it was about 3.4%. That doesn't seem insignificant and I was surprised it was that high considering where I am invested. Does this seem about right?
