YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Inflation in the United States hit a record high in June 2022. Consumer prices soared by 9.1% compared to a year prior - the largest annual increase since 1981. While wages are rising, they’re not keeping up with inflation. Corporations are raising salaries and offering other perks to retain employees, but they’re not necessarily factoring in cost of living, as that’s not typically how compensation determination works. Instead, organizations focus on the cost of labor and the competitive landscape in making these decisions.
