A 15-hour job has less purchasing power than an 11-hour job a year ago thanks to the uncontrollable inflation we suffer.

By Gualterio Nunez Estrada, Sarasota, Florida.

Dear friends from Sarasota, Florida, who are mostly those who follow this blog and to whom I thank you for the generosity of paying attention to my words when I sometimes write something in the time that I have free after work, there is something that worries me and They are the Social Security retirees who take less than a thousand dollars a month without the possibility of a housing plan eight program that always remains closed in our city and I am very concerned about those with minimum wages who earn between 10 and 15 an hour due to inflation. unstoppable that we suffer. Low-income families, as I am told, are already thinking of emigrating to northern counties, outside of the state, more affordable in terms of rent and living standards, they are planning to leave not only Sarasota, but Florida because inflation It is hitting them hard. What to say from January 1, when numerous companies announced in the press that they will raise the prices of their articles even more, all this can cause mass emigration of skilled workers and employees with experience in all sectors of the economy of the county that it is already hit by the lack of manpower. What to do about this problem, because you cannot hire a gardener who works remotely, or a plumber who builds or repairs a network of pipes from his computer. Something will have to be done, I personally do not know because I am not an economist, but what I do see is that the economy flies over the airport and has not just landed. As of January 1st, many will have to opt for a can of sardines given the price of meat that will rise more, according to the processing companies.
