Don't worry guys; if things get really bad you can always get a job at a iron lung factory.
As renewed cases of bird flu strike Iowa's nation-leading egg producers, U.S. wholesale egg prices are shattering records as shoppers buy more to bake Christmas cookies and other holiday treats.
The increases hit consumers already grappling with stubborn inflation and bracing for potentially higher prices on a broad range of items if President-elect Donald Trump follows through on plans to slap tariffs on goods from China and Mexico.
Wholesale prices for large eggs reached $5.57 per dozen in the Midwest on Wednesday, up 150% from a year ago and topping the previous record of $5.46 from December 2022, commodity data firm Expana said.
