This is on top of even larger month-to-month inflation in previous months. For example, there was a 0.9% increase from September to October and 0.7% increase from October to November.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>7.5% inflation in one year has essentially made obsolete any pay increases many people may have received. Based on survey data, U.S. companies are expecting to pay an average 3.4% raise to workers this year to compensate, which is less than half of the inflation rate.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Gasoline is up by 40%, energy is up 27%, and basic foods such as meat, fish, and eggs are up 12.2%. There is also an increase of 5.6% for transportation costs. New car prices are up 12.2%, and used cars are up 40.5%.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Potential Causes<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span>There is a general shortage of supplies and workers, which is caused by supply chain breakdowns, unemployment, or resignations, along with high levels of federal spending, with trillions of dollars being artificially pumped into the economy. Interest rates are also low, which impacts inflation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Job openings in the U.S. are near an all-time high, but a record 4.5 million workers quit their jobs in November alone. Economists say people are quitting because of COVID-19 concerns, child care, burnout, or increased financial security following the pandemic.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_341601\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-341601\" class=\"size-full wp-image-341601\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Hu-HuhuXinhuaXinhua-News-Agency-Contributor-via-Getty-Images.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"407\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dw-wp-production.imgix.net\/2022\/02\/Hu-HuhuXinhuaXinhua-News-Agency-Contributor-via-Getty-Images.jpg 600w, https:\/\/dw-wp-production.imgix.net\/2022\/02\/Hu-HuhuXinhuaXinhua-News-Agency-Contributor-via-Getty-Images-300x204.jpg 300w\" \/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-341601\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Hu Huhu\/Xinhua\/Xinhua News Agency \/ Contributor via Getty Images<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>3) U.S. Wins Gold<br \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><b>The Topline: <\/b><span>The Olympics sees allegations of \u201cdoping\u201d against a member of Russia\u2019s figure skating team as America takes home multiple golds.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Doping Scandal<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span>On Wednesday in Beijing, the medal ceremony for the team figure skating event was delayed due to a reported positive drug test from the gold medal-winning Russian team.

Chen landed a triple axel and two quadruple jumps in his routine, vaulting the American to the top of the leaderboard.
