Around 9 in 10 Americans said that they are at least "somewhat concerned" about inflation and 6 in 10 are very concerned. This worry about inflation crosses generational, racial and even partisan lines: 95 percent of Republicans, 88 percent of independents and 82 percent of Democrats say they are concerned. Government data meanwhile shows that wage gains are outpacing inflation, especially in the service sector, where the competition for workers has driven rapid increases in pay.
But in the aggregate, prices have risen faster than the pay in recent months. In November, the Consumer Price Index rose to a four-decade high of 6.8% while average hourly earnings rose 4.8%. Other measures also likewise show pay gains lagging price increases.
