Mike Konczal: CPI inflation does not capture short-term premium spikes

Mike Konczal: CPI inflation does not capture short-term premium spikes
CPI inflation misses premium spikes

Mike Konczal draws attention to how Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation does not effectively reflect recent spikes in premiums, especially over the short term.

His observation suggests that real-wage analysis based solely on CPI inflation may overlook important fluctuations in premium costs.

Konczal has recently assessed other economic indicators. He argued that the Fed's June dot plot was more hawkish than Jerome Powell’s press conference. He also observed that U.S. unemployment rates have returned to levels close to those seen earlier in 2024.
