The United States has experienced pessimism to the future for the most serious inflation in the past 40 years

The heads of the heads have visited the currently, and the United States is experiencing the worst inflation in 40 years. The situation of inflation "high fever" has continued to rise in various living costs of the United States. Recently, the reporter of the main station visited a large chain supermarket in the United States and took a look.

CCTV reporter Xu Tao: In June, the US consumer price index rose 9.1%year -on -year, reaching the highest record in 40 years. Among them, gasoline, housing and food prices have increased the greatest, which also means that the daily cost of the people is still rising. In June last year, we used to investigate the price of meat and egg milk in this large chain supermarket in the local area. In the year, let's take a look at the current prices of these products. Let's take a look at the price of meat. I remember the price of this beef was $ 12.89 per pound in June last year. Now its price is $ 14.49 per pound, and the price has risen by about 12%on the original basis. The biggest increase now should be eggs. I remember that the price of 60 eggs in June last year was about $ 8.39. Now the price of 60 eggs is $ 11.49, an increase of about 37%on the basis of the original price.

At present, the price of US prices is not just meat and egg milk. The relevant data released by the US Department of Labor show that the price of food in June 2022 rose 10.4%year -on -year, and the price of gasoline increased by 59.9%year -on -year. 19.7%and 13.7%. The price of daily necessities is increasing, which has also made the American people complain.

Local resident Fil: The price of daily food has risen, and the price of luxury goods has also risen. You know, everything is increasing.

Local resident Christina: For example, latte coffee, usually a cup of $ 4.5, is now $ 5. Some places are even $ 7 a cup. The bottled water used to be about $ 1.25 a bottle, now 1.6 US dollars. , But all these are increasing total expenditure.

The American people told the heads of the heads that they were not optimistic about when the severe inflation of the United States could end and the prospects of the US economy was not optimistic.

Local resident Christina: Inflation will last longer because the price is still rising.

Local resident Phil: I don't think inflation will disappear in the next few months or weeks, it may last at least one year. I think we are moving in this direction (economic recession), and I think we may face economic recession. So we must continue to think about how to face it for a long time.
