Reason for 5% Wage Increase ‐ Inflation

Inflation peaked at it’s highest rate of
9.1% in June 2022… in August 2023 we
are standing at 3.7% “inflation rate
Meaning $1,000 in August 2023 has the
same buying power as:
• $953 in August 2022
• $882 in August 2021
Remember from the prior slide how many
people will receive less than this
$50/paycheck inflationary increase?
