Inflation and a looming recession have left middle-class Americans feeling glum about household finances and the U.S. economy, a survey released Wednesday
showed.
Seventy-five percent of Americans with incomes between $30,000 and $100,000 say their income is falling behind inflation, according to a survey by Georgia-based financial services company Primerica. That's
up from 67 percent as recently as March, indicating a dramatic surge in the number of middle-class Americans feeling burdened by inflation.
An even larger share — 77 percent — say
they expect the economy to enter into a recession by the end of this year. Sixty-one percent of these middle-income Americans say they expect
the economy to be worse off a year from now. Just 14 percent say they expect it to be better.
Forty-one percent say that
inflation is their top concern. Being able to pay for food is the top concern of 26 percent.
Comment: Only three instances for the Ukrainians? HRW is either being incredibly generous or deliberately obtuse if they've only documented 3 instances of Ukrainians using populated areas as military bases.
