Most Americans Face “Significant” Supply Chain Impact

© Provided by Civic Science Few news stories better reflect the CivicScience motto of “everything affects everything” quite like the ongoing supply chain crunch. Ship and shipping container traffic jams, higher prices, barren shelves, monthslong delays, labor shortages, and that persistent pandemic make it a fool’s errand to attribute supply shortages to any sole factor. As The Atlantic put it last week: “America Is Running Out of Everything.”
If you’ve tried to purchase a wide variety of goods — that could be a new couch, gaming system, refrigerator, car, at-home COVID test, chicken wings at the pub — within the past few months, you’ve almost certainly felt the all-encompassing supply chain strain. Since an escape hatch doesn’t seem imminent, CivicScience wanted to check on Americans’ assessment of supply chain issues as the holiday season approaches.
How bad are supply chain issues right now? Quite bad. Everyone seems to agree on that part, with a vast majority of Americans classifying the problem as “significant” or “severe.”
