Latest / Wages and Prices with Fexingo: Cost of Living, Pay Raises, and Workers' Purchasing Power
How Raises Are Beating Childcare Costs
In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore a surprising turn in the inflation story: wages are finally outpacing the cost of childcare. With average hourly earnings up 3.4% year-over-year and childcare costs rising at their slowest pace in years, families are seeing a real improvement in purchasing power. They break down the numbers, discuss what's driving the slowdown—from increased supply to policy shifts—and consider whether this trend can hold.
