Imagine you and your friends all get a raise at the same time. You can afford to buy more things, like ice cream and video games. When everyone wants to buy more stuff, stores have to raise their prices because they’re selling out fast. This is why inflation happens when there are lots of jobs, people have money and want more things.
Examples
- More jobs mean more spending, which means more expensive things in the store.
