Summary
Inflation’s back with a vengeance, now nudging over four percent—and for the first time in three years, prices are rising faster than wages.

The divide is stark: states like Idaho and Mississippi are keeping pace, while California and New York lag behind, fueling a K-shaped economy where some thrive while others feel squeezed.
