How Your Raise Is Finally Beating the Cost of a Laptop

In this episode of Wages and Prices, Lucas and Luna examine a surprising trend: while import prices from China have surged to their highest since 2008, laptop prices have actually fallen. With average hourly earnings now at $37.60 and CPI declining, workers are finally gaining purchasing power on big-ticket electronics. The hosts unpack the data, explore the role of tariffs and global supply chains, and explain why your next laptop might feel a little more affordable—even if the economy feels uncertain. #LaptopPrices #Wages #Inflation #PurchasingPower #RealWages #ImportPrices #ChinaTariffs #CPI #Economics #Electronics #SupplyChain #ConsumerSpending #WagesAndPrices #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Podcast #2026 #LucasAndLuna Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
