Price changes in the US from 2000 to 2021
The chart displays the relative price increases over the last 21.5-year period for select consumer goods and services, and for hourly wages. Overall inflation is 60% during the period, so the goods and services above the line have become more expensive compared to those below the overall inflation line.
Good stuff. Thank you!
