According to LendingTree<\/a> \u2014 after researchers analyzed data from sources such as the U.S. Census Bureau \u2014 roughly one in three businesses in the United States expect to rise their prices over the next six months thanks to factors such as inflation and tariffs.<\/p>\n

On a state level, Pennsylvania ranked 18th overall in this regard, with roughly 32.2 percent of businesses upping their price tags by December. Rhode Island ranked in first with 40.3 percent. <\/p>\n
