High inflation is impacting the ability of Floridians to afford basic necessities, with a new survey from the University of South Florida (USF) showing that nearly half of Florida residents reported that surging prices have hurt their ability to pay essential bills.
The survey, based on a representative sample of 600 Floridians, sought to gauge public opinion on the impact of inflation and related policy issues, including how high prices are impacting essential and discretionary spending and what people think about the federal efforts to tame inflationary pressures.
