The Wall Street Journal
About this episode

Inflation may be coming down, but when will prices –from items in our grocery carts to insurance premiums– stop climbing so fast? And when will wages catch up to make the cost increases of recent years stop hurting so much? WSJ economics reporter Harriet Torry and WSJ chief economics commentator Greg Ip answer your questions about how economic data and Americans’ everyday experience don’t seem to match—and what can be done about it. Luke Vargas hosts.
