But wage growth has been a consistent challenge for the economy and 49 percent of the Americans surveyed said the cost of living is rising faster than their families incomes.
A brand-new report from the U.S. Labor Department says between last October and this October, prices jumped more than 6 percent, their biggest increase in more than 30 years.
Continuing price rises aren't good for anyone but especially for people in developing economies countries which have industry that's less developed and have lower living standards.
