Original Note:
The headline claims that "higher labor costs," among other things, are the reason why prices are increasing. In 2009, the minimum wage was increased to $7.25 an hour. It has not increased nationwide ever since. To say that labor costs are now "higher" is incredibly misleading. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimum_wage_in_the_United_States
