Which do you think it is?
a variety of things. covid, the fed, supply chains, fewer workers, retirements, fewer immigrants, companies seeing other companies getting increases so they think they can get them, people buying goods instead of trips/services, etc.

Did someone else just post this question as you didn't throw around insults?
