The Hidden Cost of Living: Why You Can't Get Ahead

Inflation may be slowing, but that doesn’t mean prices are going back down. In this segment, we look at what years of inflation have actually done to the cost of living—and why workers are still feeling the squeeze. 

We break down the latest inflation and producer-price data, record diesel prices, rising heating costs, and the continuing affordability crisis. The question isn’t simply whether inflation is rising or falling—it’s whether working people can actually afford their lives.
