They break down the numbers, discuss the impact of tariffs on food imports, and explore what this means for household budgets. A fresh angle in the 'raise beating costs' series, grounded in the latest economic data from June 2026. #WagesAndPrices #Groceries #Inflation #WageGrowth #CPI #PurchasingPower #Economics #CostOfLiving #AverageHourlyEarnings #EmploymentCostIndex #CoreCPI #PCE #Tariffs #FoodPrices #RealIncome #ConsumerSpending #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
