Dr. Funderburk Says Inflation Will Be With Us For Quite Awhile

Texas.gov

Dr. Dale Funderburk, Northeast Texas economist and long-time A&M-Commerce economics professor, says because of "too few goods chasing too many dollars," the amount of money pumped into the economy by the Federal reserve, and the rising price of oil and gasoline, inflation won't be going away anytime soon. Dr. Funderburk also reflects on the bounce back of the Texas economy, which now has more people working than before the pandemic.
