★Why does everything feel so expensive? Look at wages, not the CPI.
Strategic Analysis // Ian Gross
"This story highlights a critical disconnect: productivity gains aren't translating into real wage growth for most Americans. This widening gap impacts consumer spending power, corporate profits, and ultimately, the overall health and stability of our economy. Understanding this dynamic is key to anticipating future market trends."

The Big Market Report Take
This piece nails it: focusing solely on CPI misses the forest for the trees. When wages haven't kept pace with productivity for decades, it's no wonder folks feel squeezed, even if inflation numbers are "improving." It's a tale as old as time, or at least as old as the last few economic cycles.
