Latest / Wages and Prices with Fexingo: Cost of Living, Pay Raises, and Workers' Purchasing Power
Why Your Raise Is Finally Beating the Cost of Staying Home
In this episode of Wages and Prices, Lucas and Luna explore why the 'staying home is cheaper' wisdom is crumbling. With the June 2026 CPI showing shelter costs up 4.2% year-over-year and home maintenance services rising 8.1%, they drill into a fresh Bureau of Labor Statistics report on household repairs and utilities. Using specific data—like the 6.3% annual rise in plumber rates—they explain how wage growth is now outpacing the cost of keeping your home habitable. A concrete look at a hidden inflation front.
