Similarly, families will pay more for gas to travel to barbecues, with prices up 43.6 percent per gallon from last year.

This analysis comes as sixty-five percent of working families’ paychecks simply can’t keep up with rising prices with 75 percent of Americans believing the country is headed down “the wrong track,” according to a recent poll by NBC News.
