Inflation here? gas/grocery prices just continue to climb

Just checked and it looks like wages have been increasing at about 4.5 to 5%, so about a 3-4% deficit. If that can hold while inflation goes back to target, then it would take 2 years for the average worker to catch up to where they were prior to this spike.

There are of course other indicators of financial health, of course, but that's a rough estimate.
