The way I read it the price of things like eggs increased by 43% (on table 6 which is seasonally adjusted it's still 10%)? Does anyone know why?

  Lack of low-wage immigrant labor to fill farm jobs. https://www.economist.com/united-states/2022/07/28/a-shortfall-in-immigration-has-become-an-economic-problem-for-america https://www.economist.com/united-states/2022/07/28/a-shortfa...

    I'd imagine it's more likely due to energy prices associated with the chicken houses, and the virus (bird flu I think) they've been dealing with.

      Energy prices in the form of diesel to get the eggs delivered, too.

  Our local egg prices in Maine doubled, supposedly because we got hit bad with bird flu and had to cull a lot.
