Today's headlines will say wage growth (year on year) has risen to 6% (although once we allow for inflation, growth in real wages is nothing like that).
But the real issue is are real wages back to what they were before 2008, allowing workers to make up for a lost 15 years of falling living standards?
The answer is, for many, no!
So when Andrew Bailey & Rachel Reeves warn us that this stokes 'inflationary pressures' recall whose ever increasing wealth is ignored!

"Voters hated #inflation...and voted for #Trump to fix it. A CNN exit poll showed that 75% of voters experienced some hardship or severe hardship due to inflation, and those voters broke decisively for Trump and pulled the lever for him in the expectation that heâd address their concerns. Despite this expectation, the Trump administrationâs early focus has been everywhere else but on the pocketbooks of American consumers."

With Trump tariffs on steel and aluminum you can expect the price of everything from cans of soda to those ugly-assed and already overpriced Teslas to start going way up.
Arenât you glad you voted to have prices come down.
Inflation up 3%! Thanks, Donald Trump and Republicans!

Good news is #egg prices will not remain an outlier on your grocery bill!
Bad news is that prices never return to "normal" but all of the other groceries will get marked up instead.

Reminder on the Waffle House egg-price hike:
One of Trump's very first actions in office was to hinder the fight against bird-flu by putting a freeze on vital health agency communications about the disease.
In BC, they're pulling booze produced in red states from liquor store shelves. I like the targeting.
