Same here. Im happy to see prices climb for once in years. When the Auto workers were at risk of layoffs the country came together with bailouts cause the auto industry was (Too big to fail) but hundreds of thousands of workers get layed off and nobody even knows about it.
For instance a quick google search and this pops up.
Between march and august alone over 100k layoffs occured in the U.S.
They might not be coming back any time soon.
