In Episode 139 of Wages and Prices, Lucas and Luna examine how rising wages are finally outpacing the cost of groceries. With average hourly earnings climbing to $37.60 and CPI easing to 332.6, real purchasing power is improving for the first time in years. 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
