OKLAHOMA CITY, June 22, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- With rates higher than they have been in decades, 92% of U.S. companies report inflation is affecting their business in some capacity with 87% adding that this hardship will impact their operations for years to come.

Key Points:

"For most businesses, this is translating into higher prices, which isn't causing much pushback from customers," he said.
"Companies actually seem less worried than you would expect because they have such pent-up demand for products.
"With more jobs than people, we have not seen a huge difference, but the possibility of a recession still has companies spooked," he said.
Moving into late 2022, Robb believes inflation will begin to slow as excess product demand begins to taper off.
