Not to mention the US Economy added 336,000 jobs in November, almost twice the amount expected.

Last time I filled up with gas the price was 2.89/gal. in Maryland.

Win/win all around.

@Mersha 336,000 was in September.

November came in at 199,000. The net gain is estimated to be lower at 160,000 due to one time gains such as striking manufacturing employees and striking members of the writer's guild returning to work.

I stand corrected for listing the incorrect month.

November has indeed been changed to September.

People who own stocks or who have stocks in their pension have a reason to be happy today since stocks hit a record high. Inflation is down and Christmas shopping is vigorous this year. Unemployment is down. You can't argue with success.

@chessylady The rate of inflation rising is down but inflation itself is not. Prices are still higher than last year and the year before.

@haddon9 , Prices are high because of corporate greed, many companies have been in the news lately for inflating their prices for food and other essentials.

Just a week or two ago the two largest supplier of eggs in the country have listed record profits because of the above practice.

New York CNN —

" US inflation has had a snowballing effect on family budgets.

The typical American household spent $709 more in July than they did two years ago to buy the same goods and services, according to Moody’s Analytics. "
