Is inflation as concerning as we think?

Dear Ohio - Politics, Issues, and People

Concerns about inflation, and the power of the mighty dollar, have been concerns for citizens and politicians alike. Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, concerns about inflation continue to grow.

Curtis Jackson goes in-depth about inflation with Michael Goldberg, Association Professor of Design and Innovation at Case Western Reserve University. They explore the challenges with the supply chain, a partial history of inflation as it relates to today and pandemic-era concerns about unemployment. Goldberg said the biggest surprise for some analysts is the speed at which labor has disappeared, and the bleak number of workers available in the market.
