- Inflation has eaten up nearly all the raises workers received over the past two years, according to Business Insider's coverage of shrinking consumer purchasing power.
- HuffPost attributes part of the pain to Trump, framing recent policy as "hand-delivering workers another pay cut," while Seeking Alpha highlights the "brutal inequality" of the U.S. economy as consumers face continued price pressure.
Why it matters: Convergence across business, political, and industry-specific outlets shows the wage-inflation gap has become a broadly felt squeeze on American households, with some coverage explicitly tying the shortfall to specific policy choices and flagging widening economic inequality as a second-order effect.
