For a rise in employment year after year, it is clear that a small amount of inflation is absolutely necessary. This serves as a cushion against violent swings in the economy, which were common until FDR's reforms in the 1930's This also means that the poor will be 2 or 3% less well off each year, because of this inflation. It is one of the reason the poor get poorer.
