]]> ‘Unexpected’ inflation really wasn’t https://www.miltonpj.net/2025/07/26/inflation-rise-is-not-unexpected/ Sat, 26 Jul 2025 15:35:20 +0000 https://www.miltonpj.net/?p=11913 So we have been greeted with an ‘unexpected’ 3.6% inflation and unemployment rising at the same time that vacancies are diminishing (the lowest since Covid).
