Rents for housing and inflation in the U.S. - 2011-2012

06/09/2011

Rents for housing make up 40% of the core U.S. consumer price index. About 25% of April 2011's 1.3% rise in the CPI in the U.S. was from housing rent increases. Apartment vacancy rates are dropping as people prefer to rent. Analysts say the Fed may not be paying enough attention to this when it says the high unemployment levels will keep inflation down.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
