It’s the input costs per unit. Not the Sale Prices.[/quote]
Nice eyechart 🙂
So, my question is, this survey…Which industries does it span? Because I’m curious.. How are my input costs drastically different now if in an industry that like software, with very input costs versus say airline industry which is heavily dependent on fuel?
I’m asking because if I poll 100 companies that derive 100% of their business in the U.S. and heavily dependant on raw goods and transportation…wouldn’t this look entirely different than if I polled 100 companies that were focused in say sw or services business or electronic media which doesn’t have nearly as much of these raw goods costs and predominantly derive it’s business overseas? Just asking because, because again I’m not an economist…. Just someone that likes to question polls/surveys and generalizations..
If you’re talking about general prices going up for things like fuel,food,etc that everyone well end up bearing…Yes, I would agree with you and everyone is going to feel the pinch on this…..
BTW: where did anyone say CV or RSF or any other area is going to be immune from this? What started us down this path was a generalization that “everyone” is hurting and “everyone” is seeing their wallets hurt.. “everyone” is having reduced income right now…
