Yep. A lot of people are significantly more miserable than they’ve ever been. The mass layoffs were traumatic.
> The vast majority of respondents, 72%, indicated they think inflation is increasing. In reality, the rate of inflation has fallen sharply from its post-Covid peak of 9.1% and has been fluctuating between 3% and 4% a year.
Inflation is increasing the depreciation of the dollar at a rate between 3% and 4% per year. Silly public having no idea that inflation is actually the first derivative of that.
- laidoffamazon 2y agoMass layoffs weren't traumatic, layoff rates are tracked and are still lower than 2019 [0]. Speaking anecdotally, everyone I know that got laid off landed at a higher paying gig. This is what the data shows And yeah, inflation being ~3% is basically the average over the last few decades. It's not apocalyptic. [0] https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/JTSLDL https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/JTSLDL
