Back to school inflation crushing parents
The Detroit News reports parents are being forced to get “creative to send their kids back to school with new supplies amid record-high inflation.”
A recent study from Deloitte found inflation is driving spending per student up by as much as 8% this year.
And NPR reports inflation “is crippling rural America… this year alone, expenses for rural Americans had increased by 9.2%, but their earnings only increased by 2.6%.”
