WASHINGTON - A recent report from researchers at the University of Massachusetts-Boston found that rising inflation has made it difficult for millions of elderly Americans to afford basic needs. The report published in the university’s Elder Index states that half of older women as well as 45% of older men who live alone are classified as living under federal poverty standards.The index accounts for health care, food, housing and transportation costs. In 2020, the index found that 2 million senior couples were considered "financially insecure" based on their incomes compared with the cost of living. Despite these alarming findings, the cost of living isn’t going down.Inflation surged in June and workers' average wages accelerated in the spring — signs that Americans won't likely feel any relief from rising prices anytime soon and that the Federal Reserve will feel compelled to raise borrowing costs further.An inflation gauge closely tracked by the Fed jumped 6.8% in June from a year ago, the government said Friday, the biggest such jump in four decades. Much of the increase was driven by energy and food.On a month-to-month basis, too, prices surged 1% in June, the biggest such rise since 2005.
