Evidence (2024-02-01): Retail chocolate candy prices are 17% higher than they were just two years ago per Euromonitor. According to USDA, the price of sweets overall increased 9.2% this year alone. [...] Valentine’s Day shoppers with chocolates on their list are in for sticker shock, continuing what they saw at Halloween and Christmas. Thanks to distinctly higher wholesale costs for sugar and particularly cocoa, consumers are paying 9.2% more than a year ago for confections, outpacing broader inflation. Chocolate prices have already surged 17% in the U.S. over the past two years, per Euromonitor International. Not surprisingly, volume sales for the chocolate confections category are 5% below their year-ago levels (for the 52 weeks ending Dec. 17, 2023), according to Circana data. [...] Dollar sales of chocolate confectionery have grown, largely owing to higher prices, which appear to be stifling the segment's overall volume growth. Candy & Snack Today data from Circana noted the category’s 52-week dollar sales ending June 19 increased 9.5%, though this was actually down from double-digit growth in recent years. More-recent Circana data continue to demonstrate dollar growth in the category, though slower and the result of increased prices and at the expense of unit sales. For the 52 weeks ending Dec. 17, 2023, chocolate candy dollar sales were 6.4% ahead of one year prior, 15.3% ahead of two years ago. However, those higher dollar returns came amid pronounced declines in volume sales, which fell 5% and 9.5%, respectively.

Evidence (2024-05-01): In recent years, Floridians experienced a dramatic spike in energy costs, according to a Tampa Bay Times analysis of data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration. Two years ago, energy prices in the state jumped about 17% and kept rising, contributing to a surge in cost-of-living expenses in the region made worse by higher inflation. Those who feel the effects most deeply were already struggling. [...] "It is alarming to just see these prices keep rising markedly the last couple of years," she said. "It’s like an apocalypse." [...] "Primarily in the last two years, (the increase) really has been around the cost of natural gas, which was nearly three times more than it historically had been," said Melissa Seixas, president of Duke Energy Florida, at a March news conference. The company was announcing a utility assistance program administered by St. Petersburg. "Our customers felt that directly. There are absolutely ways that we were trying to offset those, including continued investments in solar, which then helps to decrease the utilization of certain fuel sources. … We’ll continue to have 100% commitment to reducing those costs."

Evidence (2024-01-05): These results indicate an economy that is delivering historic, broad-based real wage gains for workers while emerging from one of the deepest recessions on record. Policymakers should look to build on this momentum through policies that raise wages and cut costs of living, such as increasing the federal minimum wage, making more workers eligible for overtime pay, and improving the affordability of child care and health care. [...] If wages rise more quickly than prices, workers can maintain or improve their standard of living—and since the start of the pandemic, wage growth for a typical worker has been higher than inflation.4 Prices have increased 20 percent since the fourth quarter of 2019, while wages for a typical worker have grown 23 percent.5 (see Figure 1) In fact, real wages for a typical worker stand at about the level expected if there had been no pandemic or recession in early 2020 and if they had kept growing at the same rate as in years prior. 6 [...] This analysis calculates the share of workers who have received an inflation-adjusted raise by linking individual workers’ wage records from two consecutive years of the U.S. Census Bureau’s Current Population Survey.16 It then calculates the share of workers whose inflation-adjusted wages grew (using the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers17), reported as a three-month average.

Evidence (2024-05-01): These unfortunate realities have resulted in a 17.5% increase in overall hospital expenses between 2019 and 2022, according to data from Syntellis Performance Solutions, a health care data and consulting firm. Further exacerbating the situation is the fact that the staggering expense increases have been met with woefully inadequate increases in government reimbursement. Specifically, hospital expense increases between 2019 and 2022 are more than double the increases in Medicare reimbursement for inpatient care during that same time (See Figure 1). Because of this, margins have remained consistently negative, according to Kaufman Hall’s Operating Margin Index throughout 2022 (See Figure 2). In fact, over half of hospitals ended 2022 operating at a financial loss — an unsustainable situation for any organization in any sector, let alone hospitals. So far, that trend has continued into 2023 with negative median operating margins in January and February. According to a recent analysis, the first quarter of 2023 saw the highest number of bond defaults among hospitals in over a decade.1 This also is one of the primary reasons that some hospitals, especially rural hospitals, have been forced to close their doors.

Evidence (2024-02-13): Costs of doing business have also increased significantly. - Printing and production costs have increased by about 17% over the past year for the nature-based curriculum MDC offers schools through its Discover Nature Schools Program, which helps more than 87,000 Missouri students each year at more than 700 schools around the state learn about and connect with Missouri outdoors. [...] - The costs to control woody cover and heavy brush on conservation areas have increased from $133 per acre in 1999 to $319 per acre in 2023. MDC worked on controlling more than 2,116 acres in 2022.

Evidence (2021-08-20): - The data reported from these states indicate that breakthrough cases, hospitalizations, and deaths are extremely rare events among those who are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 (see Figure 1). The rate of breakthrough cases reported among those fully vaccinated is below 1% in all reporting states, ranging from 0.01% in Connecticut to 0.54% in Arkansas. [...] - The rates of death among fully vaccinated people with COVID-19 were even lower, effectively zero (0.00%) in all but two reporting states, Arkansas and Michigan where they were 0.01%. (Note: Deaths may or may not have been due to COVID-19.) [...] While information on breakthrough events is still limited and incomplete, this analysis of available state-level data indicates that COVID-19 breakthrough cases, and especially hospitalizations and deaths, among those who are fully vaccinated are rare occurrences in the United States. Moreover, this data indicate the vast majority of reported COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations, and deaths in U.S. are among those who are unvaccinated or not fully vaccinated. These findings echo the abundance of data demonstrating the effectiveness of currently authorized COVID-19 vaccines. Moving forward, particularly as the more transmissible Delta variant is now the dominant strain of COVID-19 circulating in the U.S., more robust state-level data will help to monitor ongoing vaccine effectiveness and inform discussions about booster vaccinations.

Evidence (2021-05-24): New England leads the U.S. in vaccination rates among adults. Maine, Connecticut and Vermont have the highest vaccination rates among adults, with more than 62% of residents age 18 and over fully vaccinated. Massachusetts and Rhode Island are close behind. The other states and jurisdictions with more than 50% of adults fully vaccinated, in order of highest to lowest vaccination rates, are New Jersey, New Mexico, Hawaii, Maryland, Minnesota, New York, Washington, South Dakota, Colorado, Iowa, Wisconsin, Virginia, Nebraska, District of Columbia, Guam, Oregon, California, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Michigan, New Hampshire and Alaska. The states with the lowest rates of fully vaccinated adults are in the South. In Mississippi, Alabama, Arkansas, Tennessee, Louisiana and Georgia, fewer than 40% of adults are fully vaccinated.

Evidence (2021-01-28): The CDC's current definition of "fully vaccinated" is two shots of the mRNA vaccines, Pfizer and Moderna or one shot of J&J. Those aged 5 and up are eligible for booster shots at least five months after a second dose of the mRNA vaccines or two months after a J&J shot. [...] Since the start of the COVID vaccination campaign, health officials focused on reaching older Americans, who are at high risk of severe disease. People over 65 have the highest vaccination rates in the U.S., while kids under age 12 have the lowest. (5-to-11-year-olds were first eligible for the vaccine starting in fall 2021. Children younger than 5 could receive the vaccine starting in June 2022.) [...] States receive vaccine allocations from the federal government and make their own plans for how to get those vaccines out to residents. Some states are encountering hesitancy and resistance to getting vaccinated among their populations.

Evidence (2021-09-30): Germany's Standing Committee on Vaccination (STIKO) has now recommended vaccination for all 12- to 17-year olds. The body is basing its new assessment on fresh data from the United States, where nearly 10 million children and adolescents have already been vaccinated. In a statement, the committee said the benefits would outweigh the very rare side effects. On August 2, the health ministers of the German states had already decided, contrary to generally allow everyone 12 and older to be vaccinated. On August 13 Health Minister Jens Spahn tweeted that one in four from this age group have already been vaccinated at least once. [...] In the United States and Canada, however, BioNTech-Pfizer's vaccine has been used in adolescents and older children since May. In the US alone, more than 4.4 million 12- to 15-year-olds have already been fully vaccinated, and nearly 3.8 million have received a first dose. [...] Children's immune systems react differently to vaccines than those of teenagers and adults, according to experts. Finding the safest and most effective vaccine dose is thus essential. BioNTech-Pfizer and Moderna are currently conducting studies with children aged 6 to 11. AstraZeneca is testing its vaccine on younger children, but results are not yet available.

Evidence (2021-12-22): About six in ten Americans are fully vaccinated, but in some states it's fewer than that. [...] However, in some US states, such as the north-western states of Wyoming and Idaho, fewer than 50% of the population are fully vaccinated. [...] Generally, younger age groups have lower rates of vaccination, going by the most recent CDC data. Among adults, less than 60% of 18-to-24 year olds are fully vaccinated, compared with nearly 80% of 50-to-64 year olds.

Evidence (2021-07-23): About 7 million adolescents, ages 12 to 17, have been fully vaccinated so far, according to the latest data published Thursday by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Fully vaccinated means two weeks since the completion of a second dose of the Pfizer/BioNTech coronavirus vaccine. Based on recent trends, another 600,000 or so adolescents may be fully vaccinated in the next two weeks, around the time many of them may be heading back to school in August. If that happens, then the number of adolescents fully vaccinated by that time will represent only about 30% of the roughly 25 million 12- to 17-year-olds in the United States.

Evidence (2024-09-10): Health care providers should strongly recommend all routine vaccines and confirm adolescents are fully vaccinated. The VFC program plays a substantial role in this effort by facilitating access to vaccines for eligible families, without financial barriers and by promoting equity in health care access. Parents of adolescents should schedule a well-child visit as the school year begins to verify that adolescents receive all recommended vaccines, such as the HPV vaccine, which prevents 92% of HPV-attributable cancers (8). Vaccinations can also be administered through school-based clinics, pharmacies, and back-to-school health events, which can provide expanded opportunities for adolescents to receive recommended vaccines.

Evidence (2023-03-10): Public health officials have worried since the start of the pandemic that vaccinations would not be equitably distributed around the world. The data appears to be confirming those fears as developed nations are vaccinating their populations far faster than less developed countries. Hover over each location to view country-by-country data. Vaccination rollouts among countries present an even starker contrast than those among U.S. states. These tables rank nations based on how much of their populations have been fully vaccinated. These tables lay out the key metrics for understanding vaccination progress by U.S. states and by country: doses administered, people fully vaccinated*, percentage of people fully vaccinated by population*, people receiving at least 1 dose, and % of people receiving at least 1 dose. The CRC relies upon publicly available data from multiple sources. Discrepancies may result from various issues, such as the frequency of updating compared with other sources. *U.S. only

Evidence (2023-11-17): Democrats, Older Adults, College Graduates, Among Largest Shares To Have Ever Been Vaccinated [...] The COVID-19 Vaccine Monitor has consistently shown COVID-19 vaccine uptake has been higher among older kids, with half of parents of teenagers saying their child has received at least one dose of the vaccine, compared to a quarter of parents of kids between 6 months and 4 years old, and two in five parents of kids between 5 and 11 years old. [...] The new version of the COVID-19 vaccine has been recommended for all children ages 6 months and older and unlike previous COVID-19 vaccines, most parents say they will either "probably not get" or "definitely not get" their child, regardless of age, vaccinated. Six in ten parents of teenagers (those between the ages of 12 and 17) say they will not get their child the new COVID-19 vaccine as do two-thirds of parents of children ages 5 to 11 (64%) and ages 6 months to 4 years old (66%).
