16% compared to pre covid - still sucks, but not 30% kinda sucks yet
1.3% in 2019. 
0.6% in 2020. 
5.4% in 2021. 
10.5% in 2022
Edit: incase anyone is interested, since many groups and panels push for minimum wage to raise with inflation, this would mean around April the minimum wage should be pushed to around 10.5 p/h minimum to keep up (2k per year averaged). If your year end reviews are soon, keep this number in mind as the base minimum to push for just to not be losing more.
Inflation dipping just means the rate that things are getting more expensive has slowed slightly. 
There is no "but". People feel the pinch and will continue to feel the pinch because things are constantly going up in price at a rate faster than earnings. Even if inflation suddenly went to 0% You'd feel the pinch. >

True and while 10.5 yoy is bad you definitely don't want deflation. >

Everything is still like, 30%+ more expensive than pre-covid. Of course everyone feels poorer.
