Trump’s tomato tariffs could be coming for your free chips and salsa. A 17% tariff on Mexican tomatoes has sent tomato prices soaring. Restaurants say the added costs are getting harder to absorb, and some are considering charging for salsa instead of putting it on the table for free.

Wage growth just keeps slowing. And yes, wages are rising slower than prices, and no, that's not how economic growth is meant to work.
Line chart titled "Nominal wage growth is slowing" showing year-over-year growth in average hourly earnings of private-sector workers. Wage growth has declined steadily from a peak of 5.9% in early 2022 to 3.0% in September 2026, the slowest rate in the series. This nearly 3 percentage point drop over four and a half years indicates significantly cooler labor market conditions, with the deceleration accelerating in recent months as growth fell from the 3.7-3.9% range in 2025 to the low 3% range currently.
