The consumer price index, which measures changes in the cost of food, housing, gasoline, utilities, and other goods, rose by 8.3% over the past 12 months in August — a 40-year-high.
You may have also noticed an increase in the cost of vehicles, food, and/or fuel over the last few months. The latest data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) shows energy prices are up 41.6% and gasoline alone is up nearly 59.9% over the last year. Used vehicle prices are up nearly 7.1% for the year, and new vehicle prices have increased 11.4%. Food prices have also increased by 10.4% year over year.
We think most business owners and thought leaders have been seeing this trend and working hard to initiate strategies to significantly reduce or contain costs, increase shareholder value and keep customer satisfaction high.
