“The jump in rates has pushed up borrowing costs for homes, cars, and business investments. The belief that inflation will continue to be high and that interest rates will stay higher for longer may explain why Americans say the economy is headed in the wrong direction despite all the other good news.

economy?
Experts say inflation and decreasing income are two major reasons for Americans' pessimism about the economy and their financial prospects. Americans face soaring living costs due to a 40-year-high inflation.”
