What's tough to stomach is that it's not only insurance rates that are climbing, it seems everything is now costing more, which is putting a pinch on many Minnesotan's wallets.
Inflation continues to be in factor for Central Minnesotans with so many products and services going up in price. St. Cloud State Economist and Dean, School of Public Affairs King Banaian joined me on WJON. He indicates the latest ADP report, which processes paychecks, shows wages went up 7.7% and Banaian says inflation is up 8%.
This should come as no surprise, but inflation is affecting the Minnesota State Fair. Vendors have been faced with more costs and are adjusting prices.
