🧵Headline CPI #inflation fell slightly to 7.6% in July from 8.1% in June, driven by a drop in gasoline prices between June and July. However, gasoline prices remain 36% above where they were 12 months ago. #cdnecon #canlab 1/4

Instead, total employment increased.

And wages grew, especially for female and racialized workers. Read about it in our new report: https://t.co/9F1ereqqx3 @CRRF
