About this event
Have you felt the need to ask for a raise lately? Why is that?
Inflation is on the rise and high inflation isn’t going away. In fact, prices are going up at their fastest rate since the early 1980s.
Inflation erodes purchasing power or how much of something can be purchased with currency. Elevated inflation has been driven by supply chain disruptions and pent-up consumer demand for goods as the Covid-19 pandemic wanes.
We will be in Conversation w/ San Francisco's Chief Economist Ted Egan to suss out what this means for us as San Francisco residents and how we can prepare ourselves for the years ahead.
