WASHINGTON, Aug. 16, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Even though inflation has moderated significantly in recent months, it appears to have been at the expense of low-wage workers, with the "functional unemployment" rate jumping by 1.2 percentage points for July, according to the True Rate of Unemployment (TRU) report by the Ludwig Institute for Shared Economic Prosperity (LISEP).

Key Points:

By contrast, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reported a decrease in the official jobless rate, from 3.6% to 3.5%.
"While boosting interest rates has had the intended effect of curbing higher prices, it has had a detrimental impact on those who can least afford it.
It's a situation where the cure may be just as deadly as the ailment."
"When one demographic group continues to be disproportionately affected by current economic conditions, it's a concerning trend well worth watching," Ludwig said.
