“Inflation accelerated at its fastest pace in more than 12 years for April as the U.S. economic recovery kicked into gear and energy prices jumped higher,” CNBC reports.
“The Consumer Price Index, which measures a basket of goods as well as energy and housing costs, rose 4.2% from a year ago, compared to the Dow Jones estimate for a 3.6% increase."
"The monthly gain was 0.8%, against the expected 0.2%,” the report notes.
The news comes less than a week after the Biden administration experienced a significant setback when April’s jobs report showed that only 266,000 jobs were added to the economy, 700,000 less than had been projected.
The black unemployment rate grew, 18,000 manufacturing jobs were lost, no construction jobs were added, unemployment for Americans without any college education increased, and women had a net loss in jobs.
