Latest / Wages and Prices with Fexingo: Cost of Living, Pay Raises, and Workers' Purchasing Power

Lucas and Luna dissect how the $1,700 per household energy shock from recent geopolitical tensions is quietly eroding wage gains through transport costs. With CPI at 334.1 and core inflation sticky at 337.8, they explore why your grocery budget isn't the only victim of the oil-price squeeze. The conversation anchors on the Employment Cost Index rising to 179.0 and asks whether service wages can outpace fuel volatility in September 2026.
