In April, U.S. inflation rose at an annual rate of 3.8% from a year ago, while workers&#8217; paychecks grew 3.6% \u2014 the first time since 2023 that consumer prices have outpaced wage growth.<\/p>\n<p>That sense of slipping backward, particularly driven by surging gasoline prices, is worsening the affordability challenges facing many people: 76% of survey respondents reported concern about their personal finances, CBS News found.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Some 64% also described the state of the economy as &#8220;very bad&#8221; or &#8220;fairly bad,&#8221; according to the survey, which was conducted from May 13-15.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;People are looking at higher prices across the board, and their dollar is not carrying them as far as it previously was,&#8221; Angela Hanks, a former Department of Labor official and currently chief of policy programs at The Century Foundation, a progressive think tank, told CBS News.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div style=\"min-height:502px\" id=\"datawrapper-vis-fMjdv\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/datawrapper.dwcdn.net\/fMjdv\/full.png\" alt=\"The energy shock is reigniting inflation (Line chart)\"\/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Surging energy prices accounted for <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/cpi-report-today-april-2026-inflation-iran-war-trump\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">40% of the April inflation spike<\/a><\/span>, labor data showed last week. On an annual basis, gasoline prices jumped more than 28% last month from a year ago. Steeper U.S. tariffs on imports are also contributing to the recent burst of inflation, according to economists.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In the near term, higher energy prices will push up overall inflation,&#8221; former Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said on April 29 in his final press conference as head of the central bank. &#8220;Beyond that, the scope and duration of potential effects on the economy remain unclear, as does the future course of the conflict itself.<\/p>\n<p>Higher fuel costs are seeping into the price of some consumer goods, Hanks said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;People are paying more for gas to get to and from work, and it&#8217;s showing up in how companies are pricing in their costs for consumers as well,&#8221; she said. &#8220;All of those things together create more friction that makes it harder for businesses to hire and for the labor market to maintain its pace.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>Consumers bearing the load<\/h2>\n<p>Uncertainty over the Iran war makes it hard to predict when inflation might recede, according to some economists.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There doesn&#8217;t seem to be any progress in resolving the Middle East conflict, tariffs are still hitting consumers and businesses hard, and cuts to [food stamps] and health care are making life harder for the average household,&#8221; Gbenga Ajilore, chief economist at the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, a nonpartisan think tank, said in a statement to CBS News.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Although consumer spending \u2014 which accounts for roughly two-thirds of economic activity \u2014 has largely held up this year, Ajilore worries that could change quickly.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;At some point, a majority of consumers \u2014 not just low-income ones \u2014 are going to pull back their spending, and that is going to lead to lower economic growth,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n<p class=\"content__meta--editors\">\n      Edited by<\/p>\n<p>                                  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/team\/alain-sherter\/\" class=\"byline__author__link\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Alain  Sherter<\/a>\n                      <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<p>  <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation component--type-recirculation  \">\n<p><h3 class=\"component__title\">More from CBS News<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"component__item-recirc-block\">\n<p><h3 class=\"component__title\">Go deeper with The Free Press<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n      <!-- tags --><\/p>\n<section class=\"content__tags\">\n<p class=\"content__tags__label\">In:<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/section><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- ItShrt World News -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"1882483372\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/inflation-worker-wages-growth-economy\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Roughly three-quarters of Americans say their incomes are lagging behind inflation, according to a CBS News poll.
