What happened

Well supportedReported by 21 independent outlets

U.S. inflation accelerated last month, rising to 3.7% in September compared to a year ago, driven by rising costs for gas, clothes, and air fares. A new poll from the Pew Research Center found that many Americans are experiencing economic instability, with 26% of Midwesterners reporting difficulty paying some of their bills. These high gas prices are linked to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.
