Job Creators Network Statement on November PPI

Alfredo Ortiz, CEO of Job Creators Network, released the following statement on the November PPI, which rose at 3.0%, and Core PPI, which rose by 3.5%:

“Small businesses now face predictable wholesale costs, a stark change from the double-digit increases under the Biden administration. In the months ahead, pro-growth policies by President Trump and Congressional Republicans will help to further reduce wholesale costs, which remain slightly elevated due to the Biden inflation hangover.

“These policies include an energy dominance agenda that has reduced gas prices to their lowest level in several years. Since gas is an input cost in nearly all wholesale items, this reduction will put downward pressure on prices across the board. Tax cuts and falling interest rates will also help to reduce wholesale costs from the supply side. Together, these policies will empower small businesses to flourish in 2026.”
