Thinktank report says ‘resounding evidence’ shows companies continue to keep prices high even as their inflationary costs drop

The report, compiled by the progressive Groundwork Collaborative thinktank, found corporate profits accounted for about 53% of inflation during last year’s second and third quarters. Profits drove just 11% of price growth in the 40 years prior to the pandemic, according to the report.
