Energyflation? More like everything-flation

Inflation worsened in September, rising to 3.7% annually from 3.4% in August, with energy prices taking most of the blame. The episode examines why war-inflated energy prices are a dumpster fire, including an exponential rise in the cost of shipping crude oil, and notes that price stress is beginning to spread into other parts of the economy. Host Kai Ryssdal, joined by ADP Chief Economist Nela Richardson, also visits a garment exporting business in Mumbai that trains and employs women from the slums. The segment connects global trade to job training and employment for women in Mumbai.
