  • Minimum wage raises have almost no effect on inflation rates, or “shrinkflation” for that matter. The rises in minimum wage have been frequent over the last few years but it’s almost entirely been cost push inflation that’s caused the cost of living to be so much higher and so swiftly over the last few years. Longer term here’s actually been huge wage stagnation for most. Which is its own issue. Off the back of the cost push causation, the UA invasion by Russia, covid etc profiteering by companies is definitely happening too.
