As the child of blue-collar parents, I'd agree that there's a lot of price anxiety in their neck of the woods. I'd also add that the statistics can be misleading: of the jobs added, many are in food services and front-line healthcare. For the former, the positions don't provide hours and pay poorly. Not a great area to be adding jobs in amidst high inflation and depressed lending.
