Inflation's Impact on Consumers and Interest Rates in the Economy
Inflation's Toll on Consumers
Recent surveys indicate that while inflation remains a pressing concern, many consumers are unhappy with the overall state of the economy. This sentiment largely stems from continued rising prices affecting daily spending power.
