Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump are set to debate key economic issues, including inflation, wages, and employment. Economic growth, spending, and the national debt are also focused as both candidates debate their economic legacy and future vision. Despite Biden's claims that wages have outpaced inflation, cumulative prices have grown more than wages since Biden took office. The Trump administration saw a net loss of 2.7 million jobs, largely due to the pandemic, while the Biden-Harris administration has added 15.9 million jobs to date. Average hourly wages have increased by 17.6% under Biden.
