Cost of goods and services are seeing some pressures from inflation. Many businesses are absorbing the costs of tariffs if they sell items that are affected.

Some are starting to increase prices. Not in mass though. The job market is somewhat frozen for new entry level positions. Many employees are not retiring, others are not moving to other jobs because of the current state of the market. That makes entry level jobs less available.

Inflation is still with us, but not at the rate in the past. Prices are not dropping either.
