Recent analysis of Google search data reveals that online searches for ‘can’t afford food’ exploded 1,700 percent in the U.S. on November 23, two days before Thanksgiving and the same week that rates of inflation in the U.S. were reported to be some of the highest in the world. The cost of groceries alone in the U.S. has risen by 5.4 percent in the last year, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

A new finding by eachnight.com reveals that online searches for “can’t afford food” skyrocketed to 20 times the average volume in one day, an unprecedented spike in people searching for advice about being unable to afford food, according to Google search analysis.

“With annual inflation reaching the phenomenal rate of 6.2 percent in October, more Americans than ever are struggling to cope with skyrocketing grocery costs,” observed an eachnight spokesperson. “The prices of everyday essential food items, including eggs, milk and meat, have jumped up to 30 percent for some products, which is likely to increase the pressure on consumers already struggling to afford grocery bills. Not only is food essential to our survival, but regular, nutritional meals at an affordable price are absolutely vital to a functioning society, from helping children concentrate at school to allowing adults to provide for their household on a livable wage. With Thanksgiving barely over and Christmas approaching, many people will have felt the pinch of rising food prices, and hopes will be high that inflation rates ease soon.”
